Finding the right storage solution for your valuable vehicles, equipment, and projects shouldn't mean compromising on functionality. At Jumbo Storage in Arden, NC, our oversized storage units come equipped with individually metered electrical service, providing the power you need for maintenance, restoration, and long-term storage projects. Located just minutes from Asheville Regional Airport with convenient access to I-26 and I-40, we serve car collectors, RV owners, and anyone needing more than basic storage throughout Western North Carolina.
Why Choose Electrical Storage Units in Asheville?
Most traditional storage facilities offer nothing more than a dark, empty space. Our power-equipped units transform storage from simple warehousing into functional workspace. Whether you're maintaining a classic car collection, winterizing your RV, or running a small business that requires powered equipment, having reliable electrical service changes everything.
Car collectors understand the importance of maintaining vehicles even during storage periods. Battery tenders, dehumidifiers, and diagnostic equipment all require consistent power. RV owners need electrical hookups for battery conditioning, slide-out maintenance, and winterization procedures. Small business owners benefit from being able to run tools, lighting, and climate monitoring equipment in their storage space.
Our location in the heart of Western North Carolina means you're dealing with humidity, temperature fluctuations, and seasonal weather challenges that can damage stored items. Having electrical power allows you to run fans, lighting for inspections, and essential maintenance equipment year-round.
30-Amp vs 50-Amp Service: Which Do You Need?
Every personal garage at Jumbo Storage comes standard with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service through individually metered connections. This dual-power setup ensures you have the right amperage for any application, from basic maintenance to heavy-duty equipment operation.
30-Amp Service Applications:
- Battery tenders and chargers for multiple vehicles
- LED lighting systems for workspace illumination
- Small power tools and diagnostic equipment
- Fans and ventilation systems
- Security cameras and monitoring equipment
- Basic workshop tools and equipment
50-Amp Service Applications:
- RV electrical systems and slide-out mechanisms
- Heavy-duty equipment and machinery
- Welding equipment and compressors
- Large power tools and hydraulic systems
- Multiple high-draw devices simultaneously
- Commercial-grade equipment and tools
The individual metering system means you only pay for the electricity you actually use, making it cost-effective whether you're running minimal equipment or operating a full workshop environment. This flexibility allows you to scale your electrical usage based on your specific needs without worrying about shared costs or usage restrictions.
Perfect for Asheville Car Collectors and Enthusiasts
Western North Carolina's beautiful mountain roads attract serious car enthusiasts, but storing and maintaining valuable vehicles presents unique challenges. Our electrically-equipped storage units provide the ideal solution for collectors who understand that proper storage requires more than just shelter.
Classic and exotic car storage requires attention to detail that goes beyond basic protection. Battery maintenance, periodic starting and inspection routines, and climate monitoring all require reliable power. Our 30-amp service handles battery tenders for multiple vehicles, LED lighting for detailed inspections, and small tools for routine maintenance tasks.
For collectors undertaking restoration projects, having a workspace with reliable power transforms your storage unit into a functional garage. The 50-amp service supports welding equipment, air compressors, and heavy-duty tools necessary for serious restoration work. Combined with our 19-foot ceiling heights and oversized doors, you have room to work on everything from vintage sports cars to classic muscle cars.
Security is paramount for valuable vehicle storage. Our electrical service supports advanced security systems, lighting, and monitoring equipment. The 24/7 access means you can check on your collection anytime, while the individually secured units ensure your vehicles and equipment remain protected.

RV Storage with Electrical Hookups
RV ownership represents freedom and adventure, but proper storage between trips requires more than simply parking your vehicle. Our electrical hookups provide the power necessary for proper RV maintenance, battery conditioning, and winterization procedures that protect your investment year-round.
Battery systems in recreational vehicles require regular charging and conditioning, especially during extended storage periods. Our 30-amp service provides reliable power for battery maintainers and trickle chargers, ensuring your RV's electrical systems remain functional and ready for your next adventure. This consistent power prevents the dead battery situations that plague RVs stored without electrical access.
For larger RVs and those with complex electrical systems, our 50-amp service accommodates the same power requirements as full RV park hookups. This capability allows you to test systems, run slide-outs for maintenance, and operate onboard equipment without external generators or makeshift power solutions.
Our facility accommodates RVs up to 45 feet in length, with driveways between buildings ranging from 50 to 60 feet wide. Add the 5-foot apron extending from each building, and you have 10 additional feet of maneuvering space, making access comfortable even with larger motorhomes and travel trailers.
The convenience extends beyond storage. Our on-site dump station and wash bay mean you can service your RV without leaving the property. Combined with 24/7 access, you can prepare for trips on your schedule rather than working around facility hours or external service availability.

Additional Amenities That Matter
Electrical service is just one component of our comprehensive storage solution. Each personally-secured unit comes with features designed to make storage convenient, secure, and functional for serious users.
Our steel-frame construction with well-insulated doors and walls provides durability and weather protection essential in Western North Carolina's variable climate. The oversized doors (14' x 16/17') accommodate large vehicles and equipment while making loading and unloading straightforward.
Units range from 896 to 1,500 square feet, providing space for multiple vehicles, equipment storage, and workspace areas. The 19-foot ceiling heights accommodate lifted vehicles, tall equipment, and overhead storage solutions. Larger spaces can be created by combining adjacent units with connecting doorways or removing common walls for drive-through configurations.
On-site amenities include community restrooms, a wash bay for cleaning vehicles and equipment, and a dump station for RVs and other waste disposal needs. A dumpster handles routine waste removal, eliminating the need to haul trash and debris offsite.
The fully fenced facility with controlled gate access provides security while maintaining 24/7 availability. This combination means you can access your stored items whenever needed while ensuring unauthorized visitors cannot enter the property.
