What size RV parking spot do I need?

Parking spot sizes depend on your rig's total length, including any tow vehicle. Measure from bumper to hitch, then add a few feet for clearance. Poth Storage & RV Park offers outdoor spots that fit travel trailers, fifth wheels, and Class A motorhomes. Contact the facility to confirm which spots can accommodate your specific setup.

How much storage space do I need for a one-bedroom apartment?

Most one-bedroom apartments fit into a 10×10 unit, which holds a bed, couch, dresser, and roughly 20-30 boxes. If you're only storing part of your belongings or seasonal items, a 5×10 may be enough. Our storage unit size guide helps you estimate based on what you're actually storing.

Should I prepare my RV or boat before putting it in storage?

Yes. Clean the exterior, empty the fridge, disconnect the battery, and check tire pressure before parking long-term. For boats, drain the bilge and flush the engine if you've been in saltwater. These steps prevent mildew, rodent problems, and mechanical issues. Our vehicle storage page has more preparation tips.

Does temperature matter for items in a storage unit?

In South Texas, summer heat regularly tops 100°F, which can damage electronics, vinyl, wooden furniture, and anything with adhesives. If your belongings are sensitive to extreme heat or humidity, a climate-controlled unit is worth considering even for short-term storage.

Can I access my RV or storage unit on weekends?

Yes. Poth Storage & RV Park offers extended gate hours from early morning through late evening, including weekends. Once you have your access code, you can come and go within those hours to load your unit, grab gear from your trailer, or prep your boat for a trip.

What's the difference between covered and uncovered RV parking?

Covered spots add a roof structure that shields your RV or boat from direct sun, hail, and bird droppings. Uncovered spots cost less but leave your vehicle exposed to the elements. In South Texas, covered parking can reduce UV damage to seals, tires, and exterior finishes over time.

What's included in the monthly rental price?

Your monthly rate at Poth Storage & RV Park covers the unit or parking space, gate access during posted hours, and on-site security features like fencing and lighting. Locks, insurance, and supplies are typically separate. Visit our self-storage FAQ for more details on what to expect.

Is this facility a good option during military relocation?

Absolutely. PCS moves often create gaps between duty stations, and Poth Storage & RV Park's month-to-month rentals flex around unpredictable timelines. Store your household goods in a unit and park your truck, trailer, or boat in the same location. See our military storage page for more on how storage supports service members.
