DOES SIZE MATTER?

IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR A
STORAGE SPACE OPTION FOR YOUR RV, YOU BET IT DOES!

When you are looking for a place to store your RV, what
considerations are most important to you? Do you get stressed-out
about parking your RV in the space you have?

Do you worry about your RV being hit by your
neighbour’s door when it is being stored at a storage facil

li>ity?
Are you concerned about being able to comfortably load up your RV to
set off on a great journey? We are going
to explore the difference between the size of storage
spaces for recreational vehicles offered by RV Park & Go and
those typically offered by others in the outdoor self-storage
industry.

We will answer
these 3 questions for you;

• Why does the
  size of an outdoor self-storage parking space matter?

• What sizes
  of outdoor self-storage parking spaces does RV Park & Go have to
  offer?

• Why are most outdoor self-storage parking spaces for RVs only 10
  feet wide?

Why
does the size of an outdoor self-storage parking space matter?

The right parking
space for your RV is essential if you are going to fully enjoy all
that owning a travel trailer, motorhome, 5^th wheel, or
other type of recreational vehicle brings to you and your family.
Who wants the added worry of not being able to comfortably park
in their outdoor self-storage space when they return from a great
journey? Nobody does! We are all looking to reduce stressful
situations in our lives whenever we can. RV Park & Go can
help with that.

You want to be
able to open the door to your motorhome, travel trailer, 5^th
wheel, or other type of recreational vehicle so that you can carry
out essential departure activities, stow your gear, load-up your
groceries and other supplies, as well as completing a check of your
RV to make sure that all is well before leaving on a great journey
without having to pull it out of its parking space to do those
things.

If you are new
to the RV lifestyle, you want to be able to build your
confidence with a storage space that allows for easy
maneuvering in a storage facility and you want to choose a
company that offers you a great parking space for your new
recreational vehicle.

What
size outdoor self-storage parking spaces does RV Park & Go offer?

The design of our
outdoor RV self-storage facility was completed by RV owners with
fellow RV owners and their needs in mind. RV Park & Go
specializes in providing RV owners with outdoor self-storage spaces
for their recreational vehicles that can be easily accessed by
our customers 24/7/365 with excellent security in place for worry
free storage in a safe, clean, and secure facility.

As soon as you
come through the entry gate of our facility, you will see that there
is plenty of space in the laneways to comfortably maneuver
your recreational vehicle and there is plenty of space between the
stored units. When you get to your designated storage space, you
will be happy to see that your space is 13.5 feet wide and
there is sufficient room between you and your neighbour to allow you
to comfortably park your RV.

Why did we make
that choice? We know the importance of completing a circle check
before you head out on a trip. We know that the ability to walk
around your rig to do a pre-departure check is a key part of
completing the necessary preparations when leaving on a great
journey.

The space we
provide you with will give you that extra room you need. You will be
able to easily maneuver your RV at the facility. Every time you drop
off your RV in your designated parking space you know which space you
will park in and how much space there will be between you and your
neighbour.

Why
are most outdoor self-storage parking spaces for RVs only 10 feet
wide?

There
are a lot of choices available to you when selecting the type and
size of a recreational vehicle that is right for you and your family.
Whether you choose a motorhome, travel trailer, 5th wheel, or watercraft, the length of the unit you select can vary
greatly. But the width of your RV will vary much less.

The
width of your
recreational vehicle is likely to be somewhere between eight to ten
feet.  

Why
are most recreational vehicles between 8 and 10 feet wide? Because
manufacturers build them so that your recreational vehicle can
fit into standard driving lanes which are 12 feet wide.
So, you are all set for driving down the road, but it could be a bit
of a tight squeeze when it comes to parking your RV.

A lot of
companies that typically provide indoor self-storage have decided to
maximize the space they have at their facility. These companies have
made some room for outdoor spaces for vehicles such as travel
trailers, motorhomes, and other types of vehicles in their ordinary
self-storage facility.

The position of
these spaces is usually around the fence line of the property and are
most commonly only 10 feet wide. Compare that to the width of
the spaces offered by RV Park & Go. Those extra 3.5 feet in
width offered by RV Park & Go will make a big difference
when you return from a journey and have to unload and park your RV.

Why you should choose RV
Park & Go for your RV storage needs

We get it! We
provide an outdoor self-storage facility that is dedicated to the
storage of recreational vehicles. We took great care in
designing a facility that delivers to you a storage space that meets
your needs and provides you with peace of mind when parking your
motorhome, travel trailer, 5^th wheel, watercraft &
trailer, or other type of recreational vehicle.

A customer of RV
Park & Go has a storage space for their recreational vehicle that
is the right length and is 13.5 feet wide. A space that is
much more generously sized for their storage needs than the 10
feet of width typically provided by other companies that store
recreational vehicles.

going through a checklist of activities is very important. It is
also important to do a check before you depart on a great journey
to reduce the chance of your trip being unexpectedly interrupted.

It is a good idea
to have a list of predeparture checks. There are many online sources
that can give you a checklist of things to do. Here’s the areas
you will want to cover;

1. Tires – look for signs of wear and damage, inflate to the proper
   level

2. Batteries – ensure they have a full charge

3. Fluids – check engine, generator, windshield washer, and change
   and/or top up as needed

4. Water – flush the water system and refill it with potable water

5. Seams and seals – are all as they should be? No leaks.

6. Safety devices – check all the detectors are operational and the
   fire extinguisher is ready for use

7. Appliances – ensure that all are working as expected

needs attention, we are here for you. As a customer of
RV Park & Go you will be able to leverage our

your RV toolbox with you. You guessed it. You can find a list of
handy items with an online search.

Did
someone say shopping?

It’s time to
pack up your groceries and other necessities. You will
need several lists or perhaps one long list to cover off the
clothing, toiletries, food & drink, entertainment and other
personal items that are required for your trip. Luckily, there are a
lot of sites that can provide you with a great framework for those
lists.

One of those
sites is https://www.campanda.com/magazine/rv-checklists-printable/
Take a look at that site and get a head start on preparing for a great
journey. You cannot enjoy fishing in the river if you forget your
fishing rod. What’s a campfire without some marshmallows and
hot dogs to roast?

At the end of
each journey, to deter unwelcomed visitors, you likely clear out
left-over food stuffs and take personal items, toiletries and other
things that you took on the last trip back into your home.

RV Park &
Go is conveniently located near to a gas station that has
comfortable maneuvering for recreational vehicles, a major grocery
store, pharmacy and LCBO are located just

WHERE CAN I STORE MY BOAT WHEN IT’S NOT AFLOAT?

AT RV PARK & GO YOU
WILL FIND GREAT STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR WATERCRAFT!

There are few things that can bring a smile to your face as quickly
as the joy of cruising across the open water in your boat or on your
jet-ski when the sun is shining on a beautiful summer day. Something
to consider as the boating season comes closer is the storage of your
pleasure craft when you are not out on the water enjoying it and
having fun. Also, planning now for the off-season storage you will
need can save you from being disappointed when the season starts to
wind down. If you are looking to have a clean, safe, and secure
storage solution for your watercraft then look no further than RV
Park & Go’s facility located in Stoney Creek, Ontario.

In this post we
will highlight the benefits of being our customer for the outdoor
self-storage of your watercraft. Those benefits are;

• The freedom to explore many different launch points
• Convenient access to your watercraft
• The benefits of being a member of a fabulous customer community

The
freedom to explore many different launch points

The sun on your
face and the wind in your hair; everything is right with the world!
When you choose to store your watercraft at RV Park & Go, you
gain a big advantage for the boating season. You can select a
new and different launch site each time you go out on an adventure.
Whether you are looking for a perfect fishing spot, a place to
water-ski, or to jet-ski, you will not be tied to a single marina
and will be free to get into the water wherever you decide to launch
on that day.

Fun fact, a
little Googling will give you a tidbit of information on the number
of boats in our province; there are as many boats in Ontario as there
are in the rest of Canada. Is that true? It sure does seem that way
when you are looking for somewhere to store your boat.

The popularity of
boating in Canada and in Ontario in particular, is likely why
there are so many options for boaters when it comes to choosing their
storage provider for the boating season, and in the off season
too. Also, it is likely the reason why there are so many places to
choose from when deciding which of the waterways of Ontario you will
explore.

As a customer of
RV Park & Go, you do not have to look too far for a convenient
launch point to begin a great journey on one of Ontario’s many
picturesque waterways. There is a fabulous conservation area
less that 20 kms away from our facility. Hamilton’s 50
Point conservation area has a lot to offer the owners of all
types of recreational vehicles, including the owners of boats and
jet-skis. If you are looking to venture further afield, you can find
many great opportunities listed for a pleasure boat holiday at the
provincial government’s Top
Ten Boating Places in Ontario webpage.

Is there anything
more liberating than cruising across the open water in your
boat or on your jet-ski? With RV Park & Go, our customers
have the ability to access their watercraft 24/7/365, and the
freedom to choose from a vast array of options at launch time.

Convenient
access to your watercraft

Our facility is
located enroute to two of the Great Lakes; Ontario and Erie. Both
fantastic destinations for boating adventures. Located just off the
Red Hill Valley Parkway when driving from the QEW Niagara or off the
Lincoln Alexander Parkway when travelling on the westbound 403
highway, you will find that RV Park & Go is readily accessible
for a smooth get away with your boat or jet-ski.

When selecting
the location of our facility, we kept in mind the needs of our
customer community. We are located close to a major grocery
store, a pharmacy, and a gas station that has ample room to maneuver
a boat & trailer. It is also a great place to gas up before
hitting your launch site. There is no need for you to pay marina
prices for gas and supplies.

The owners of
many different types of recreational vehicles including boats and
other pleasure craft in Toronto, Hamilton, Flamborough, Burlington,
St. Catharines, Grimsby, and the Niagara area rely on RV Park &
Go to provide top quality storage solutions. We can be found at
54 Upper Centennial Parkway in Stoney Creek, Ontario.

The
benefits of being a member of a fabulous customer community

When you are
enjoying your boat on the water, do you wave at the other boaters
that you meet? When you are travelling down the road, towing your
pleasure craft, do you feel a sense of fellowship with the other
jet-skiers you see when you drive past them? That same feeling of
fellowship exists among RV Park & Go’s community of customers.
There is a wonderful feeling of camaraderie that you will experience
as a member of RV Park & Go’s customer community.

On a regular
basis, our operations team complete walk-throughs of the facility.
If we notice that the cover has blown off your boat, we will let you
know. But that’s not all. We receive calls and messages from
customers from time to time, telling us about their observations when
they are attending to their own recreational vehicles that are stored
at RV Park & Go. We have had communications from customers to
tell us of numerous types of issues such as; hearing a neighbour’s
alarm going off, seeing that an exterior compartment door has been
left open, or noticing that a roof vent is not closed. When we learn
of these issues, we immediately alert the appropriate parties so
that the matter can be quickly addressed.
