Choosing the Right Parking Storage: What to Look For
Whether you own an RV, boat, trailer, or extra vehicle, finding the right parking storage is essential to protect your investment and ensure easy access when needed. MyPlace Self Storage makes it simple with flexible solutions like uncovered gravel spots, covered parking, and spacious lots for vehicles of all sizes. Use this comprehensive guide to evaluate your parking storage options and make the best choice for your needs.
Size Matters: Pick the Right Spot
Before choosing parking storage, measure your vehicle’s length, width, and height. Be sure to account for any extra clearance needed for hitches, roof racks, or accessories. MyPlace Self-Storage offers parking spaces ranging from 15′ to 60′, accommodating everything from compact cars to oversized RVs and trailers.

Types of Parking Storage Options
At MyPlace Self Storage, we offer parking solutions tailored to different needs:
- Covered Parking: Offers protection from harsh weather like sun, rain, and snow, making it ideal for long-term storage or sensitive vehicles.
- Uncovered Gravel Parking: A cost-effective option for rugged vehicles, trailers, or boats that don’t need constant shelter.
Covered parking provides long-term weather protection, while gravel spots are great for budget-friendly flexibility. Visit a MyPlace facility for a tour and advice on which option is best for you.
Prepare Your Vehicle for Storage
Taking a few steps before storing your vehicle ensures it stays in great shape:
- Clean the Exterior and Interior: Remove dirt, salt, and debris to prevent corrosion or pest infestations.
- Battery Maintenance: Disconnect the battery or use a trickle charger to prevent drainage during storage.
- Protect the Tires: Inflate to the recommended pressure and use covers to shield them from UV rays.
- Use a Weatherproof Cover: For uncovered spots, invest in a durable, weather-resistant cover for added protection.
These small preparations go a long way in preserving your vehicle for its next use.

Easy access is key when choosing parking storage. At MyPlace Self Storage, we provide wide driveways and well-lit lots, making it simple to park and maneuver even large RVs or trailers. With extended access hours from 6 AM to 10 PM, you can retrieve your vehicle at your convenience.
