Rv Storage
Here in White City, we’re pretty lucky. We get to enjoy all the rugged beauty of Jackson County without the brutal winters you hear about back East. Our local climate, classified as Mediterranean, gives us those gorgeous, warm, dry summers and what most would call "mild," wet winters. With an average annual temperature hovering around 54°F, it’s easy to get complacent. That complacency is a trap. If you’re an RV owner in the 97503 zip code, you’ve probably looked at the winter forecast, seen a "low of 35°F," and thought, "Great, it's not freezing. The pipes are safe."This assumption is the "Freeze-Thaw Gamble," and it's a bet you’ll eventually lose. That 35°F forecast is precisely why your RV pipes are still in danger. The "Mild" Climate Misconception The problem isn’t a deep, hard freeze. The problem is the fluctuation. Our "wet, cooler winters" mean we live right on the freezing line. A reported low of 35°F is often the temperature at the weather station, not the temperature in your RV’s uninsulated plumbing bay at 4:00 AM. As the night deepens, that 35°F can easily dip to 31°F or 30°F for just a few hours—long enough to freeze the water sitting in a P-trap or a low point in your water lines. This is where the "thaw" part of the gamble gets you. The ice expands, creating hairline cracks in your plastic or copper pipes. You’d never even know it. Then, the next day, the temperature rises to a perfectly pleasant 45°F. The ice melts, and that water begins to drip, seep, and flow into your RV's subfloor, walls, and storage bays. By the time you notice the damp carpet, the damage is done. Mold, rot, and a four-figure repair bill are next. Our 67% average humidity only accelerates this water damage. The Vulnerability of a Parked RV Think about that beautiful RV you took to TouVelle State Recreation Site last fall. Now it’s parked in your driveway. It’s a sitting duck for the freeze-thaw cycle. You might be ...

Klamath Falls, with its stunning high desert landscape and unlimited sunshine, is an RVer's paradise. From weekend trips to Moore Park for a hike, to exploring the region's rich history at Collier Memorial State Park or the Fort Klamath Museum, your recreational vehicle is your ticket to adventure. But as the seasons change and the cold, snowy winters set in, it's time to think about protecting your investment. That's where proper self storage comes in, and the first question on every RV owner's mind is, "Will my RV fit?" This guide will walk you through the simple steps of measuring your camper to ensure you find the perfect storage space, keeping your home-on-wheels safe and sound until your next journey. Why Proper Measurement is Key Before you even start looking for a storage facility, it's crucial to have the exact dimensions of your RV. An accurate measurement will save you time, money, and the headache of showing up on moving day only to find your spot is too small. Knowing your RV's length, width, and height is the first step to a stress-free storage experience. How to Measure Your RV: A Step-by-Step Guide Grab a trusty tape measure and a notepad, and let's get to it. It's always a good idea to have a friend help you with this, as it can be tricky to handle a long tape measure on your own. Length: This is the most important measurement. Start at the very front of your RV, whether that's the bumper or the hitch, and measure all the way to the furthest point at the back. Be sure to include any accessories like ladders or spare tires. This total length is what you'll need to provide to the storage facility. Width: Measure the width of your RV from the two widest points on either side. Don't forget to include side mirrors, awnings, and any slide-outs. Knowing the full width will ensure you have enough space to comfortably maneuver your vehicle in and out of its spot. Height: ...
