I have used Extra Space for years and needed a new place to store my RV. Walked into the local ExSp and the guys both were ready to assist me! Drove me out to the storage lots in the rain to show what was available! I had the lease done in less time than it took me to write this review! Fast, easy, and reliable! You can’t beat that!

Storing Your Recreational Vehicle at Extra Space Storage
No matter the size of your camper van, motorhome, or recreational vehicle, Extra Space Storage has the storage solution for you. We offer RV parking at over 2,000 facilities across the country. Select RV storage facilities near you may have additional amenities like climate control, 24-hour access, and advanced security features.
TYPES OF RV STORAGE
Extra Space Storage offers three different types of RV storage: indoor, outdoor, and covered. Explore which is right for your needs and budget.
Indoor RV Storage Units
If you prefer to store an RV or trailer long-term, our 10x20 to 10x40 drive-up access storage units are your best choice. These garage-like, fully enclosed storage units offer the most protection, with select locations also including climate control. 10x20 storage units fit small trailers, while 10x40 storage units are better for large trailers and some Class B and C motorhomes.
Outdoor RV Storage
Outdoor RV and camper storage sizes typically start at 8x20 and range up to 50 feet in length, fitting practically all motorhome classes. Options for outdoor RV camper storage–open lot parking or designated RV parking—vary by facility. Outdoor parking is perfect for short-term RV storage, cost-conscious renters, and drivers who want the convenience of pulling through a spot and don't mind exposure to the elements.
Covered RV Storage
Covered RV parking can be as long as 50 feet at certain locations. With a protective roof, covered parking helps shield your recreational vehicle from some sun and rain. Some facilities have designated RV parking while others have open lot parking. Unlike enclosed RV storage, these spaces often accommodate larger motorhomes, trailers, and fifth-wheelers, but certain pop-up campers and toy haulers may be too tall. For a mid-price parking solution for short-term or long-term RV storage, choose covered parking.
How Much Is RV Storage?
The average price of RV storage is around $121 per month, depending on the type of storage, location, amenities, security features, and more. Storing your RV indoors can cost $47 to $600 on average per month.
Storing an RV outdoors can help you save on monthly rental prices, with uncovered outdoor RV parking priced around $35-$301 and covered outdoor RV storage between $80 and $599 on average per month.
Storage Type | Average Cost Per Month | Level of Protection |
|---|---|---|
Indoor Storage | $47 - $600 | Added Protection |
Covered Storage | $80 - $599 | Roof Protection |
Outdoor Storage | $35 - $301 | Exposure to Elements |

CHOOSE THE RIGHT RV STORAGE SIZE
Two common starting sizes for RV storage are 8x20 and 10x20, which are about 160 and 200 square feet. However, we offer a variety of RV storage sizes to accommodate different recreational vehicles.
RV Type | Average Dimensions (Feet) | Indoor Storage Size | Outdoor Storage Size | Square Footage | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Small Trailers/Campers | 8-15 L x 8 W x 8-10 H | 10x15 or 10x20 | 8x20 to 10x20 ft | 150-200 sq ft | Teardrop campers, smaller RVs |
Class A Motorhomes | 26-45 L x 8-8.5 W x 12-13 H | N/A | 10x40+ | 400+ sq ft | Large motorhomes, fifth-wheel trailers |
Class B Motorhomes | 17-23 L x 7-8 W x 9-10 H | 10x25 or 10x30 | 10x30+ | 250-300 sq ft | Camper vans, pop-up trailers, small motorhomes |
Class C Motorhomes | 20-33 L x 8-8.5 W x 10-12 H | 10x30 | 10x30 or 10x40+ | 300-400+ sq ft | Mid-sized motorhomes, travel trailers, toy haulers |
*These RV sizes and storage unit dimensions are estimates and may vary based on the make and model of your motorhome. Please contact our team of storage experts for personalized guidance before renting an RV storage unit.
Camper Trailer Storage
At Extra Space Storage, we have the space you need to store several types of RV trailers, with varying options to match your vehicle's needs.
Small/Lightweight Trailers
Indoor Storage:
Trailers within 13 and 20 feet in length, and less than 10 feet wide can typically fit inside 10×15 units and 10×20 drive-up storage units.
If your trailer is taller than 8 feet, you may need outdoor storage.
Outdoor/Covered Storage:
Small travel trailers can easily fit in standard 20-foot parking spots, an open lot, or a covered parking space.
Outdoor RV storage can be more affordable if you don’t need indoor storage.
Mid-Sized Trailers
Indoor Storage:
Mid-sized trailers are typically between 18 and 25 feet in length, and taller than the standard indoor storage unit.
Look for facilities with taller drive-up unit ceilings and larger square footage such as 10×20, 10×25, and
Outdoor/Covered Storage:
Uncovered and covered outdoor parking spaces are an affordable solution for mid-sized travel trailers.
If your trailer measures more than 20 feet in length, look for locations that offer 10x30 parking spaces.
Large Trailers
Indoor Storage:
Large travel trailers often exceed 30 feet, so finding indoor storage may be challenging.
We recommend 10×30 storage units for trailers less than 8 feet tall, and select Extra Space Storage facilities may have storage units as large as 10×40.
Outdoor/Covered Storage:
Storing large travel trailers outdoors is the most common and affordable option.
Extra Space Storage locations have outdoor parking spaces as large as 40 to 50 feet in length.
Fifth-Wheel Trailers
Indoor Storage:
Smaller fifth-wheel trailers that are 22 feet long can often fit in a 10×25 or 10×30 drive-up storage unit, as long as the unit’s ceilings are high enough.
More commonly-sized fifth-wheel trailers ranging from 32 to 36 feet in length, will require a 10×40 indoor storage unit.
Outdoor/Covered Storage:
Outdoor and covered vehicle storage are common choices for fifth-wheel trailers and more affordable.
Both outdoor and covered parking spaces as long as 40 feet are available at various locations.
Pop-Up Campers
Indoor Storage:
Most traditional variations of pop-up campers, such as a-frame pop-ups and flip-out campers, can fit inside
10×10 units, 10×15 units, or 10×20 drive-up storage units.
High-wall pop-ups may require a storage unit with higher ceilings, and toy hauler pop-ups often exceed 20 feet in length, so a large storage unit like a 10×30 or 10x40 is best.
Outdoor/Covered Storage:
Most campers easily fit into a standard 8×20 parking stall designed for cars.
Larger outdoor parking spaces are readily available if your pop-up is exceedingly long or wide.
Toy Hauler Trailers
Indoor Storage:
Depending on your toy hauler trailer's length, a 10×25, 10×30, or even a 10×40 drive-up storage unit may be an option for indoor RV storage.
If you’re looking for an indoor storage solution, call your nearby Extra Space Storage location to see if indoor units are available to accommodate your toy trailer's height.
Outdoor Storage:
Many toy hauler trailers exceed 30 and even 40 feet in length, making outdoor storage a more readily available and affordable option.
Outdoor or covered parking spaces can be as long as 40 feet, with fewer height limitations to easily accommodate large trailers while offering a secure storage solution for your RV.
Motorhome Storage
How much space do you need to store class A, B, and C motorhomes? RVs vary widely in size. Because of this, the recommendations for motorhome storage sizes and types of self storage also vary.
Class A Motorhomes
Indoor Storage:
Because class A motorhomes and diesel pusher motorhomes are large, it can be challenging to find indoor RV storage.
10×40 drive-up storage units may work for shorter class A motorhomes, but most class A motorhomes are around 12 feet tall or higher while standard storage units are only 8 feet tall.
Outdoor/Covered Storage:
An outdoor parking space as large as 40 feet long and 10 feet wide is the optimal solution for storing a class A RV motorhome.
Both outdoor and covered parking spaces are perfect for recreational vehicles of this size and will likely be cheaper and easier to drive through the facility lot.
Class B Motorhomes
Indoor Storage:
Camper vans typically measure around 17 to 23 feet in length and roughly 9 to 10 feet in height, making 10x25 or 10x30 drive-up storage units a good option.
Check with your nearby Extra Space Storage location to see if drive-up units can accommodate a class B RV motorhome.
Outdoor/Covered Storage:
Many Extra Space Storage locations have 30-foot parking spaces available for storing class B RV motorhomes.
Covered parking offers more protection from the elements for class B motorhomes while costing less than indoor storage.
Class C Motorhomes
Indoor Storage:
Class C motorhomes typically range from 20 to 33 feet in length, so larger 10×30 or 10×40 drive-up storage units will be the best option for indoor storage.
Class C motorhomes are typically taller than ten feet, so finding an Extra Space Storage facility with ceilings high enough to accommodate these vehicles may be challenging.
Outdoor/Covered Storage:
Outdoor or covered vehicle storage is a popular option for class C motorhomes, being more cost-effective with fewer height limitations.
Parking spaces for both options can be as long as 30 to 40 feet, allowing you to comfortably park your RV in a secure storage space.
Top Reasons to Choose an RV Storage Facility
Though you can sometimes store your RV on your own property, there are several reasons why you might choose an RV storage location near you instead of your home to park your RV camper, motorhome, or trailer when not in use.
Maximize Space at Home
RVs can be too large for typical garages and driveways, taking up valuable space or blocking frequently-used vehicles. Renting RV storage keeps your garage and driveway clear.
Avoid HOA Restrictions & Fees
Many homeowners' associations prohibit parking your RV in driveways or on the street. Storing your RV off-site helps you comply with neighborhood rules and avoid fines.
Convenient for Travel
Keeping your RV at a local storage facility near highways, interstates, or your favorite outdoor recreation areas saves time and effort when preparing for trips, so you can easily pick up and go.
Protection Against Weather
Enclosed RV storage offers protection from rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, while covered outdoor storage provide partial protection from sun and precipitation.
Enhanced Security
Many of our RV storage facilities have electronic gate access, video surveillance, and on-site resident managers to help keep your vehicle safe when you're not using it.
Flexible Access Hours
Some locations offer 24-hour access or extended access hours from 6am to 10pm, allowing you to pick up or drop off your RV at your convenience.
Month-to-Month Rentals
Whether you need short-term RV storage or long-term RV storage year-round, many Extra Space Storage facilities offer flexible leasing options and seasonal RV parking.
Save on Maintenance Costs
Storing your RV properly can help prevent weather-related damage, reduce wear and tear, and save you money on repairs in the long run.
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR MOTORHOME FOR STORAGE
Properly preparing your motorhome for self storage is critical for keeping in top condition, regardless of whether you’re storing indoors or outdoors.
Clean Your Motorhome
Cleaning your motorhome before storage is a must to keep it in top condition and prevent wear. Make sure your motorhome is thoroughly washed and clean doors, windows, and wheels. You'll also want to clean the interior of your RV, including perishable items. Giving your RV a deep clean will help it remain as good as new, even after storing your RV long-term.
Winterize Your Motorhome
Roughly a month before winter, you'll want to consider winterizing your RV. To winterize your vehicle, you should perform a deep clean and defrost your appliances. Drain tanks and pipes, blow out water lines, and remove and store your RV battery. Adding RV antifreeze and securing your RV's wheels with blocks helps your vehicle withstand harsh winter conditions and stay in place through short-term or long-term winter RV storage.
Seal Your Motorhome
Sealing off your motorhome will help prevent rodents and other pests from getting in your space, especially if you plan to use outdoor RV storage. Lock and seal any windows or roof vents, and close off your exhaust pipes. Inspect your roof for any leaks and fix them before storage. And use a high-quality breathable cover to ward off unwanted visitors and protect your vehicle from the elements.

I highly recommend. Called to book a covered, outside storage for my RV. The gentleman who answered was nice, professional and knowledgeable. When I arrived, all the paperwork was ready to go. The area was clean and free of debris. Storage spaces are definitely ample enough. I had to come back a couple of times to get things I needed and it was hassle free. Check out was a breeze. Great service and nice people.

RV Storage Unit Frequently Asked Questions
Can I store my RV long-term?
Yes! Extra Space Storage offers both short-term and long-term monthly storage options for your RV. Be sure to take the proper steps to prepare your RV for storage if you plan on storing it long-term.
Will an RV fit inside a storage unit?
Smaller RVs and trailers can fit inside our 10x30 and 10x40 indoor storage units. However, outdoor covered and uncovered parking spaces are best suited for RV storage, as they offer more space and convenience to pull through the spot—no backing up or challenging maneuvering required. Contact your local facility for more information on RV storage availability.
Are vehicle registration and proof of insurance required?
While you may not be using your RV for a while, it must remain registered and insured to be stored at Extra Space Storage. Talk with your insurance agent about switching to a less expensive temporary coverage plan, as vehicle insurance laws vary from state to state. Common coverage plans for RVs in storage are seasonal and comp-only. If you park an uninsured vehicle in a storage unit, you run the risk of receiving a citation or having your license suspended. Don’t forget to switch your insurance when your RV is back on the road.
Can I also store a boat and trailer in a storage unit?
Yes, boats and trailers can be stored in storage units if they fit. Large drive-up units work for smaller boats, while larger boats may need outdoor parking. Check size requirements before choosing a space.
