Why trailer storage?
We touched upon this up above in this article, but let’s look at the dollars and cents of trailer storage.
No matter what kind of trailer we are talking about, be it a semi-trailer or a 30’ travel trailer, we are talking about a major investment, about $100,000, and that kind of investment needs to be protected. Of course, there is insurance but anyone who has dealt with an insurance company, on a claim, knows the hassle that is inherent in that procedure: it may eventually replace the loss, but the process is more bother than anyone would want to undertake.
It is much easier to pay for protection before trouble hits and that means finding secure self storage for your trailer.
Storage options for trailers.
Truthfully, for the long run, for storage needed for years, it might be economically wise to build a storage building for your trailer. The upfront cost will sting, but over time you will more than make up for that construction cost.
Let’s say, though, that your finances do not allow you to build a storage building. What then?
Many RV parks will rent out a parking strip (outdoor storage) for a trailer. This is an inexpensive (relatively speaking) solution, but it is far from secure.
Finding a trailer storage company which specializes in large piece of equipment is possible if you live in one of the larger cities, and many of them offer indoor storage, but the specialization of their business tends to mean higher rental prices.
The other option is to rent RV storage units (also good for semi-trailers or work trailers, from a self storage company like our own Blue Mound 287 Self Storage. Price will depend upon the size of the unit and the amount of security available, but the price will be well worth it considering the peace of mind which is attached to the cost. And, if you find a self-storage unit which is 24/7 accessible, all the better.
The only other option you have is to park that trailer on your own property, unsecured and constantly at risk, but that option really is not worthy of consideration considering the cost of your investment.
Which is the best?
You are the only one who can answer this question. For sure, money is tight, but the cost of replacement is a very real consideration, so try to look beyond the monthly costs and see the entire picture, which could easily include the theft of your investment.
