Choosing an ideal parking location for your RV – Mountain Home RV Park

If you are thinking about buying an RV, you already know that you will likely not be using it in the winter or cold season. Then next question that comes to mind is where and how can I best park your RV when it is not in use. With that in mind, there are a few key factors you must consider. RVs comes in different types and sizes with each requiring a different type of parking space. Below we look at two things you should pay attention to when planning for the parking and storage of an RV.

Outdoor RV parking

One of the first places many people think to park an RV is outside on your property or on the street. This is a cheap option but unfortunately is not ideal and has many drawbacks. Because often there isn’t enough room for an RV in your garage, you will have to leave it outside uncovered and exposed to the elements. This not only puts your motorhome at risk of theft and vandalism, it may also be damaged by falling branches or hail. Exposure to high temperatures from the sun can also greatly accelerate the deterioration of materials on the dash, steering wheel, seats and weather stripping on the windows. In addition, you may find RV parking on the street is not be allowed in your area.

Indoor covered parking for an RV

Not everyone who owns an RV has enough space in their garage to store the motorhome. That is why many owners rent or buy a specialized RV storage unit such as in this RV park in Mountain Home, ID. If you want to make sure your RV is safe from damage or break-ins, this is certainly an option worth checking out. To find out the cost simply call an RV park near you and ask which rates and rules apply at the storage facility. To learn more, please get in touch with Mountainbound Custom Storage & RV Park today.
