Owning an RV is more than just owning a car; it's an investment in adventure, freedom, and memorable road trips. However, as many RV owners discover, storing their RV presents a whole new set of challenges. Enter climate-controlled RV storage.
At SSU Storage, we know that RVS require special treatment
during the down or off-seasons when they are not used for extended periods. If
you've been storing your RV in your driveway or an outdoor storage area, it's
time to upgrade to climate-controlled RV
storage. The benefits of an RV storage facility are not only smart, but
they will also save you money in the future.
RV storage units provide the best environment for maintaining your RV in excellent condition all year long. Beneath are some of the benefits of these units.
1. Protection from Nature
Weather protection is an evident benefit of climate-controlled RV storage units. The elements can do a number on your RV over time. Rain, snow, extreme heat, and humidity can cause roof damage, rust, faded paint, and damaged interiors. Not to mention, they can also lead to added wear and tear on mechanical components, all of which can shorten the life of your RV.
In climate-controlled RV storage, temperature and humidity are controlled within an ideal range to prevent those issues. Your RV will stay pristine, resulting in fewer repairs while protecting its value.
2. Prevention of Mold, Mildew, and Pest Infestation
Moisture is one of the most dangerous things that could happen to an improperly stored RV. It only takes a small leak or some condensation in the air to create mould and mildew growth inside your unit. Not only can mold cause damage to the structure of your unit, but it also creates unhealthy air quality and horrible odours.
When you store your vehicle in a climate-controlled RV storage site, humidity is controlled, which limits moisture buildup. Storing your RV inside will also reduce the chances of rodents and insects infesting your RV and causing damage by chewing through wires and upholstery. If you have ever had an infestation in your RV, you know the stress and cost it can cause.
3. Added Security
Most people don't think much more than an open lot or their backyard when storing their RV. Premium storage units for RV typically come with more security than open, unsecured lots. Here at SSU Storage, we offer gated access, video surveillance, and on-site staff to help you rest easy and sleep well, knowing your RV is safe from vandalism or theft.
The indoor, climate-controlled units we offer may give you the extra benefit of keeping your RV out of sight, and also limit or prevent crime due to another visual security element in a climate-controlled building. Out of sight often equals out of mind for opportunistic crimes, as well as the added comfort of a vehicle monitored inside a secure storage facility.
4. Longer Life of the Vehicle
RVS last longer when they are well-maintained. There is not much more to say. Regular maintenance and care are essential, but storing or caring for a vehicle in a proper environment is just as crucial for longevity. The last thing you want is an RV that loses years of life due to premature ageing. Exposing your vehicle to components like temperature and climate can deteriorate and rev the ageing of your RV.
You want to keep your RV for years to come. Everything, from the roof to the tires and plumbing, and even the electronics, can become adversely affected by an environment that regularly exposes your RV to extremes of temperature and weather elements.
By choosing climate-controlled RV storage, you're investing in the future value of your vehicle. When you properly take care of your RV, you limit the number of repairs you may need to make, reduce the need to replace parts, and increase its resale value when you choose to upgrade or sell it.
5. Convenient and Accessible
Modern storage units for RV like SSU Storage are significant features of customer modern convenience. With wide aisles, drive-up access, and various rental terms, it's easy to store or retrieve your RV when you need to head out. Some places even offer battery charging stations, dump stations, and on-site maintenance services.
Having a dedicated storage location, where space, HOA, or neighbour complaints are ruled out, gives you access to a clean, safe, and professionally maintained environment for your RV.
6. Great for Seasonal Storage
Most RV owners only use the vehicles on a seasonal basis. Depending on the season, an RV can be vulnerable to snow, ice, and freezing rain, which can easily cause damage during the off-season, especially in winter.
Storing an RV in a climate-controlled RV storage facility can
provide peace of mind that your vehicle will remain protected during the
downtime. This option is perfect for snowbirds, summer travellers, or anyone
who does not use their RV all year but wants it to remain in the best condition
possible.
Your RV is more than just a mode of transportation - it offers a way to unwind, embark on adventures, and relive unforgettable memories. So why let its storage be left to chance?
Climate-controlled RV storage is a wise investment that pays dividends in peace of mind, lower maintenance costs, and an extended vehicle lifespan. At SSU Storage, we offer quality storage units that provide the convenience and protection you need to keep your RV in optimal shape.
