The combination of covered storage, gated security, and electrical hookups represents the premium tier of RV storage. Each feature serves a purpose: covered protects from Georgia's brutal sun and hail, gated provides security for your investment, and electrical keeps your RV's systems healthy between uses. Here's where to find this combination in the Atlanta area.

Georgia's climate is hard on RVs:

• UV radiation: Degrades roof membranes, fades graphics, cracks seals
• Hail: Spring and summer storms cause expensive damage
• Heat: Interior temperatures reach 150°F+, damaging electronics and interiors

A roof overhead eliminates direct sun and hail damage—the two biggest threats.

RVs represent $30,000-500,000+ investments:

• Theft of entire unit is rare but possible
• Break-ins and catalytic converter theft are common
• Vandalism occurs in unsecured lots

Gated access with individual codes provides:

• Barrier to casual criminals
• Record of who enters when
• Reduced theft and vandalism risk

Shore power during storage enables:

• Battery maintenance (prevents dead batteries)
• Periodic AC operation (controls mold/mildew)
• Systems stay ready between trips
• No "revival" needed when you return

Finding all three features together is difficult:

• Many covered facilities lack electrical
• Many electrical spots are uncovered
• Gated security is common, but combined with both others is not

Covered + gated (no electrical): Most common premium option

Electrical + gated (uncovered): Available at some facilities

Covered + electrical + gated: Limited availability, often waiting lists

Inside I-285:

• Minimal RV storage of any type
• Premium pricing when available
• Rare to find all three features

North Metro (toward Lake Lanier):

• Some premium RV facilities
• Electrical more common
• Higher competition/pricing

East Metro (I-20 corridor):

• Growing options
• Some facilities adding electrical
• Better pricing

South Metro:

• Variable options
• Some facilities with electrical

Covered RV storage without electrical:

• Close suburbs: $150-250/month
• Outer suburbs: $100-175/month

Adding electrical typically costs:

• 30A hookup: +$30-75/month
• 50A hookup: +$50-100/month
• Or: Metered electricity at actual usage

Covered + gated + 30A electrical:

• Close suburbs: $200-325/month
• Outer suburbs: $150-250/month

Covered + gated + 50A electrical:

• Close suburbs: $225-350/month
• Outer suburbs: $175-275/month

Month-to-month:

• Maximum flexibility
• Often 10-20% premium over annual
• Leave when you want

Annual commitment:

• Better monthly rate
• Locked rate for the year
• May require notice to cancel

Most RV storage operates on:

• Monthly billing
• Month-to-month or annual options
• 30-day cancellation notice
• First month + deposit to start

Ask about:

• Rate lock (will it increase mid-lease?)
• Cancellation terms
• Auto-renewal policies
• Deposit refund conditions

1. Start with RV-specific facilities:

• Search "RV storage [area] electrical hookups"
• Check facility websites for features listed
• Call to confirm availability

1. Expand to boat/vehicle storage:

• Some accommodate RVs
• May have electrical at select spots

1. Ask about waiting lists:

• Electrical spots often have lists
• Get on multiple lists
• Ask about typical wait times

1. "Do you have covered spaces with electrical hookups?"
2. "What amperage—30A or 50A?"
3. "What's the monthly rate including electrical?"
4. "Are spots currently available, or is there a waiting list?"
5. "Is security gated with individual access codes?"
6. "What are your lease terms?"

Not all covered storage is equal:

• Metal roof, open sides: Standard, adequate protection
• Partial walls: Better protection from blowing rain
• Height clearance: Confirm your RV fits with AC units, antennas

Verify before committing:

• Correct amperage for your RV
• Outlet condition (not worn/damaged)
• Location relative to your parking spot
• Cord length required to reach

Evaluate:

• Gate condition and operation
• Individual codes (not shared)
• Automatic closing
• Hours of access

• Maintenance and cleanliness
• Other RVs stored (quality indicates quality customers)
• Management responsiveness
