What size ranges need to be offered in terms of the vehicle space?
Our base unit starts at 20 feet deep and increases in five-foot increments. Units need to be at least 12 feet wide, but the height is dependent on the product mix in the marketplace. Travel-trailer storage units should be 10 to 12.5 feet high. Boat storage units need to be 7.5 feet high and 45 feet long. What other special requirements might a facility or marina operator need to meet in order to offer this type of storage? A storage facility or marina operator’s first requirement is land and/or boat dock space. Market demand will also affect requirements. An operator might start with uncovered space and move to covered space, and then move to boat/RV storage exclusively. An operator could offer uncovered, covered and semi-covered space. People want to store all their vehicles in one place. Operators can also offer amenities such as vehicle washing, vehicle repair, preparing vehicles for storage (i.e. cleaning septic system and washing vehicle), or preparing the boat or RV for travel.
