Is Indoor RV Storage Worth It?
While outdoor parking spaces are more affordable, they leave your RV exposed to the elements. Indoor storage offers added protection. It’s worth the extra cost if:
You live in an area with extreme temperatures or high winds
Your RV or camper is high-value
You want to avoid UV damage, rodent infestations, roof rot, and mildew
You need 24-hour surveillance
You’re tired of HOA restrictions or city rules
Indoor units offer gate access, self-storage, and drop-off convenience. Protect your home-on-wheels with indoor storage you can count on.
How to Choose the Right-Sized Indoor RV Storage Unit
RV storage facilities typically offer several different unit sizes. Before booking a unit, you need to measure the length, width, and height of your RV, including mirrors and AC units. Next, match your RV to a unit by class:
Class A Motorhomes: Up to 45 ft
Class B Campers: Up to 20 ft
Class C Motorhomes: 20-30 ft
Trailers/Fifth Wheels: Varies by hitch and axle
Make sure you leave enough room to open doors or slide-outs if you’ll need to access inside your camper while it’s parked. Many camper and RV owners need to access their trailers to store gear, clean, and prep for their next adventures.
Storage Star facilities offer indoor spaces for multiple RV types and sizes. Use our size guide to find the perfect indoor RV unit near you.
Indoor vs. Covered vs. Outdoor RV Storage
When it comes to parking your recreational vehicle, your three main options are outdoor storage, covered parking spaces, and enclosed units. Outdoor storage is typically the cheapest, whereas enclosed units provide the best protection. Covered spaces offer good UV protection and moderate weather protection.
Here’s a comparison of all three solutions:
Feature | Indoor Storage | Covered Storage | Outdoor Storage |
Weather Protection | ✅ Full enclosure | ✅ Roof only | 🔺 Exposed to all elements |
Security | ✅ Highest (locked + gated) | 🔶 Moderate (fence/gates) | 🔺 Lower (open lot or field) |
Cost | 🔶 Highest | ✅ Mid-range | ✅ Most affordable |
Best For | ✅ High-value or delicate RVs | ✅ Mild climates | 🔺 Short-term or budget storage |
Choose the option that fits your budget and your RV lifestyle.

FAQs
What Size Unit Do I Need for My RV?
The size of the RV parking space you need will vary depending on the class of trailer you have. Units typically range from 20’ to 45’. Measure your full rig, including the hitch and AC units, to identify how much space you will need.
Make sure to leave enough room so that you can access your trailer while it is parked inside the unit. It’s better to rent a unit with a little extra space, rather than leaving yourself no room to open the doors or slides.
Use our storage unit size guide to help you choose, or contact a facility near you.
How Much Does Indoor RV Storage Cost Monthly?
You should plan to pay anywhere from $200 to $700 per month for indoor RV storage. The costs will vary depending on location and unit size, as well as whether the unit is climate-controlled.
