Large Class A motorhomes—40 feet and longer—represent significant investments often exceeding $200,000-500,000. Indoor storage provides maximum protection, but finding indoor space that can actually accommodate 40+ foot rigs with adequate ceiling height is genuinely difficult in the Atlanta area.

A 40ft Class A motorhome needs:

• Length: 40-45 feet (plus maneuvering room)
• Width: 8.5 feet (plus door opening clearance)
• Height: 12-13.5 feet (with AC units, antennas)

Finding indoor space with these dimensions is the primary challenge.

True indoor/enclosed:

• Four walls and roof
• Climate-controlled or ambient temperature
• Full protection from elements

Warehouse-style indoor:

• Large open buildings
• Multiple units stored inside
• May or may not be climate-controlled

Enclosed individual bay:

• Your own walled space
• Roll-up door access
• Maximum privacy and security

True indoor storage for 40ft+ RVs is scarce:

• Buildings large enough are uncommon
• Ceiling height is often insufficient
• Demand exceeds supply
• Waiting lists are common

Warehouse-style shared indoor:

• Most common "indoor" option for large RVs
• Multiple RVs in one building
• Variable quality

Premium enclosed facility:

• Purpose-built for large RVs
• Often luxury/collector focused
• Expensive

Converted commercial space:

• Former warehouses or industrial buildings
• Size may work, but height varies
• Infrastructure quality varies

Inside I-285: Nearly non-existent for 40ft+ indoor

North Metro: A few facilities catering to Lake Lanier/north-side owners

South Metro: Limited options

East/West Metro: Occasional options in industrial areas

Critical measurement: Your RV height + 12-18 inches minimum clearance

Common issue: Many buildings are 12ft ceiling, too low for tall Class A units

What to ask: "What is your ceiling height exactly?" Then verify against your RV's height with all rooftop equipment.

Entry door must accommodate:

• Full RV height
• Full RV width
• Turning radius to enter

Common configurations:

• Large roll-up doors (14ft+ height)
• Drive-through buildings (enter one side, exit other)

Evaluate:

• How units are arranged (can you access yours?)
• Space between stored RVs
• Maneuvering room inside
• Access to your specific space

Options:

• Ambient (building temperature follows outside)
• Heated only (prevents freezing, not cooled)
• Full climate control (heated and cooled)

Cost impact: Full climate control significantly increases rates

Even indoor facilities should have:

• Perimeter security
• Gated entry
• Individual access codes

Why: Indoor doesn't mean automatically secure—access control still matters.

• Door/alarm systems
• Camera coverage inside building
• Fire protection systems
• Access logging

Depending on configuration:

• Locked individual bay (you control access)
• Shared building (facility controls access)

Warehouse-style indoor (40ft+ space):

• $350-600/month typical
• May vary significantly by facility

Climate-controlled indoor:

• $450-800/month
• Premium facilities may exceed $1,000

Individual enclosed bay:

• $500-1,000+/month
• Very limited availability

Is indoor worth 2-3x the cost of covered?

Consider:

• Your RV's value
• How long you'll store
• Local weather severity
• Your risk tolerance

For a $300,000 diesel pusher stored long-term, the premium may be justified. For a $75,000 Class A used regularly, covered storage may be sufficient.

If indoor isn't available or affordable:

High-quality covered storage provides:

• Protection from sun and hail (biggest threats)
• Gated security
• Often available when indoor isn't
• Significantly lower cost

What covered doesn't provide:

• Full climate control
• Complete weather enclosure
• Maximum protection

For many owners: Premium covered is the practical choice.

1. Search specifically: "Indoor RV storage 40ft [area]"
2. Call and verify: Confirm height clearance and availability
3. Ask about waiting lists: Get on multiple if needed
4. Consider broader geography: May need to go farther than ideal

1. "What's your exact ceiling height?"
2. "What's the maximum RV length you accommodate?"
3. "Do you currently have space for a 40ft+ RV?"
4. "If not, is there a waiting list?"
5. "Is the facility gated with individual access?"
6. "Is it climate-controlled?"

Never commit without visiting:

• Verify dimensions work for YOUR RV
• Check maneuverability
• Evaluate overall facility quality
• Confirm security features

Oxford RV Storage accommodates large Class A motorhomes with covered storage options rather than indoor:

What Oxford offers:

• Covered spaces for 40ft+ motorhomes
• Height clearance for tall Class A units
• Gated access with individual codes
• Maneuvering room for large rigs
• East-Metro pricing

Honest assessment: Indoor enclosed storage is not available at Oxford. For owners who specifically require indoor/enclosed storage, specialized facilities would be necessary. For owners where premium covered storage meets their needs, Oxford provides the space and security for large motorhomes at significantly lower cost than indoor alternatives.
