Indoor Storage —Due to size limitations, we recommend indoor storage units for small RVs, trailers, small boats and personal watercrafts. Indoor units offer the most protection. Drive-up units function similar to a garage, allowing you to back your RV in or your boat on a trailer. This option may be the best option for smaller boats and personal watercrafts like jet skis, canoes, kayaks and boards.
RVs, Campers and Motorhomes —For RVs, fifth-wheel and other campers and motorhomes, we recommend outdoor parking spaces that make it easy to maneuver full-sized and oversized vehicles. Many of our outdoor and covered RV storage parking spaces measure up to 40 feet long to accommodate RVs of virtually any size.
Paddleboards, Surf Boards, Canoes —These types of smaller personal watercrafts can still take up a lot of space at home, especially if you participate in a variety of water sports. If your whole family has boards it can lead to clutter in your garage. Drop off your boards, canoes and kayaks at an SPS storage unit, and easily pick them up when the water beckons. more
● Lower-Cost Alternative to Marina Storage —Dry-dock boat storage on a trailer at an SPS facility may be less expensive than marina storage. here
● Easy Access and Extended Gate Hours —With most locations open from 6am to 10pm, 7 days a week, you can hit the open road, or open waters, any time that works with your schedule. Last minute trip to the lake? No problem when you store at SPS. here
SPS offers multiple options, which vary by location, to help protect your boats, RVs and trailers. From indoor, traditional and climate-controlled storage units to large outdoor parking spaces, you’ll find the ideal boat and RV storage option at SPS. [links]
