When you're not traveling in Hendersonville's surrounding mountains, you'll need to find a spot to store your RV, camper, or trailer during the off-season. Many residents own recreational vehicles, however, finding a storage solution can be difficult. Here are some different ways you can store your recreational vehicle:
Storing Your Camper in Your Driveway
The driveway is a perfect location for storing an RV or trailer at home. However, the average driveway can only fit one car, which creates additional issues when storing an RV in your driveway. The advantages to storing your RV in your driveway are the convenience and no storage costs.
But, your HOA may have laws prohibiting you from parking an RV, trailer, or camper in your driveway, depending on where you live. This could lead to costly fines or towing. Parking your RV in your driveway exposes it to harm from the sun, wind, rain, and snow. Also, if your RV is left out in the open, it’s more likely to be vandalized or stolen.
Storing Your Motorhome in the Garage
With a two-garage, you may have space to store RVs, campers, or trailers. This is a great choice for most class B and C motorhomes, which can range in length from 22 to 35 feet. But keep in mind that not every garage can accommodate recreational vehicles, especially if it’s taller.
If your home has a large enough garage, you will not have to pay to store your RV. Storing your RV in your garage reduces the likelihood of vandalism or theft and prevents environmental deterioration.
On the other hand, if you have a smaller garage and more than one vehicle, one of them will have to park outside. Furthermore, you may not have enough space in your garage for home storage, an overflow fridge, an overflow freezer, or lawn equipment.
Parking Your Trailer in Your Backyard
If you have adequate space, parking your camper, RV, or trailer in your backyard can be a convenient option. Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks to storing your recreational vehicle in your backyard. If you intend to build a parking pad, grading your yard, or adding a carport to accommodate your RV, the associated costs will be costly and time-consuming.
Many homeowners communities have bylaws in place that prohibit the storage of automobiles in yards. Before using your yard as an RV parking space, verify with your neighboring HOA.
Storing RV at a Self Storage
