Enclosed storage for large RVs—units that can fit 40-foot motorhomes while offering monthly rental flexibility—represents a narrow segment of the storage market. Most facilities either can't accommodate the size, require annual commitments, or both. Here's what actually exists and what alternatives make sense.

Interior dimensions:

• Length: 40-45 feet (vehicle + door clearance)
• Width: 10-12 feet (8.5ft RV + side clearance)
• Height: 14-16 feet (12-13.5ft RV + roof clearance)

Door requirements:

• Width: 12ft minimum
• Height: 14ft minimum
• Type: Roll-up or sliding

Building economics:

• Large enclosed units are expensive to build
• Few RV owners need/pay for this
• Commercial/warehouse space usually pays better

Physical constraints:

• Height is the biggest issue
• Many buildings are 12ft ceiling—too low
• Purpose-built facilities are limited

Annual commitment advantages (for facility):

• Predictable revenue
• Less turnover
• Easier planning

Monthly rental advantages (for you):

• Flexibility
• No long-term commitment
• Can leave when situation changes

True month-to-month: Some facilities offer this, often at premium rates

Annual with monthly billing: Year commitment, billed monthly—NOT month-to-month

Short-term with minimums: 3-6 month minimum, then month-to-month

Most 40ft+ enclosed: Annual commitment is standard due to limited supply

Some high-end RV storage facilities offer enclosed units:

• Purpose-built for large RVs
• Proper height clearance
• May have monthly options

Characteristics:

• Premium pricing ($400-1,000+/month)
• Limited availability
• Often waiting lists

Renting warehouse space can work:

• Verify ceiling height
• Check door dimensions
• May be more flexible on terms

Characteristics:

• Variable pricing based on market
• May require commercial lease
• More negotiation possible

Former commercial buildings converted to storage:

• May have adequate height
• Quality varies significantly
• Worth investigating

Some areas have RV storage condos:

• Individual enclosed unit ownership/rental
• Purpose-built for large RVs
• Limited locations

1. "What's your ceiling height exactly?"
2. "What's the interior length of your largest unit?"
3. "What size door do your large units have?"
4. "Can you accommodate a [specific length] RV?"

1. "Do you offer monthly rentals, or is it annual?"
2. "If annual, is there any flexibility?"
3. "What's the notice period to cancel?"
4. "What happens if I need to leave early?"

1. "Do you currently have 40ft+ units available?"
2. "If not, is there a waiting list?"
3. "How long do people typically wait?"
4. "Can I get on the list?"

Monthly rates (when available):

• Standard enclosed: $350-600/month
• Climate-controlled: $500-900/month
• Premium/luxury: $700-1,200+/month

| Storage Type | Monthly Cost | Protection Level | |--------------|--------------|------------------| | Outdoor | $125-200 | Minimal | | Covered | $175-275 | Good | | Enclosed (non-climate) | $350-600 | Very Good | | Enclosed (climate) | $500-900 | Excellent |

If enclosed storage is:

• Not available in your area
• Too expensive
• Requires annual commitment you don't want

• Protection from sun and hail (biggest threats)
• Significant protection at lower cost
• Usually more availability
• More flexible terms

• Full climate control
• Complete weather enclosure
• Maximum protection level

For most RV owners, high-quality covered storage is sufficient :

• Stops 80%+ of weather damage
• Costs 40-60% less than enclosed
• More available
• More flexible terms

Enclosed makes sense for:

• Very high-value coaches
• Climate-sensitive concerns
• Maximum protection priority
• Budget is secondary

Oxford RV Storage provides covered storage for large RVs rather than enclosed units:
