Before renting and RV or Boat storage, it is important to determine the type of storage you need. While open parking and some canopies are low-cost storage, upscale storage with amenities that include enclosed units is pricy. The decision depends on how much do you want to spend, what kind of security you desire and the location. There are four types of RV and Boat Storage: 1. Fully enclosed units--These are similar to garages and may have heat and electricity. They are totally secure and accessed only by the RV owner. 2. Covered units with three walls--These offer some protection from the elements but do not include a roll-up door. 3. Covered parking--This provides an awning or canopy that protects vehicles from the sun but does not block moisture or wind from the sides. Angled RV canopies fall into this category. 4. Open parking--This is basically a gated parking lot with no protection from the elements.
