How to Choose Trailer Storage Step by Step

  1. 1. Measure tongue to bumper. Use the total length including the tongue and coupler, and note the height if the trailer is enclosed or carries a boat or toy hauler.
  2. 2. Pick the type of space. Open lots suit utility and equipment trailers. Covered spaces protect enclosed cargo and toy haulers from sun and hail. Indoor space suits small or high-value trailers.
  3. 3. Check maneuvering room. Ask whether spaces are pull-through or back-in and how wide the aisles are, especially for long gooseneck or car-hauler trailers.
  4. 4. Secure it. Bring a coupler lock and wheel lock, and choose a facility with logged gate access, cameras and lighting.
  5. 5. Ask about access hours. If you use the trailer for work or weekend hauling, 24-hour access avoids waiting on office hours.
  6. 6. Read the contract. Check move-out notice, late fees, lien terms and insurance requirements.

Trailer Storage Buyer's Guide

What to Check Before Renting Trailer Storage

  • Hitch lock: Always use a coupler lock even in a secured facility. Trailers are easy theft targets.
  • Tire maintenance: Over-inflate by 10%. Use tire covers for UV protection.
  • Bearings: Repack wheel bearings before extended storage, especially after water exposure.
  • Surface type: Paved is better than gravel or dirt. Standing water accelerates rot.
  • Registration: Many facilities require current registration. Keep it up to date.

Trailer Storage FAQ

How much does trailer storage cost per month?
Trailer storage ranges $30-$80/month for outdoor lots, $60-$140/month for covered storage, and $100-$250/month for enclosed indoor storage. Pricing scales with trailer length - expect to pay $1-$2 per foot per month as a rough benchmark. Enclosed cargo trailer storage trends higher due to theft risk.
What types of trailers can I store?
Most storage facilities accept utility trailers, cargo trailers, boat trailers, RV/travel trailers, fifth wheels, horse trailers, dump trailers, flatbeds, and landscape trailers. Some facilities specialize in commercial or oversized trailers. Always confirm length, height, and weight limits before reserving.
How much space does my trailer need in storage?
Add 2-4 feet to your trailer's overall length (including tongue and spare tire) when choosing a space. A 20-foot boat trailer typically needs a 24-foot space. For height clearance, measure the tallest point including any loads or air conditioners on top.
Do I need to empty my trailer before storage?
Yes for long-term storage. Remove valuables, perishables, and anything that attracts pests. For cargo and utility trailers, leave them empty to prevent tire overload and suspension sag. For travel trailers, follow standard RV winterization: drain water, add antifreeze, remove food.
How do I prevent tire flat-spotting during long-term trailer storage?
Over-inflate tires by 5-10 PSI, place trailer on leveling blocks or jack stands to remove weight from the tires, rotate tires every 90 days if left on the ground, and cover tires to block UV (UV is a top cause of trailer tire sidewall cracking). Trailer tires typically need replacement every 5-7 years regardless of tread wear.
Is trailer theft a problem in outdoor storage?
Yes, trailers are a top theft target - easy to hitch and drive away. Use a coupler lock, wheel chock lock, GPS tracker, and choose a fenced facility with 24/7 cameras. Park with the tongue facing inward so thieves can't easily hitch up. Enclosed cargo trailers with expensive contents should go indoor whenever possible.
How do I find trailer storage near me?
