Moving house comes with an endless barrage of small decisions, from what to keep, donate, and sell through to when to pack and how to transport your belongings. If you have an RV, figuring out what to do with it is another item on the to-do list. Due to the vehicle’s size, it can get in the way at both your old home and your new one during the moving process. If you want to make life easier, it helps to plan somewhere for the RV to stay.

1.  Use a Dedicated RV Storage Facility

Places like this RV Parking Boise lot are purpose-built for large vehicles. You get wide lines, clear parking spots, and staff who understand your needs as an RV owner. They’re also highly secure thanks to features like keypad entry and 24/7 video surveillance. You can usually opt for uncovered or covered spaces to fit your budget and pay a per-day rate. This flexibility is ideal if your closing dates don’t line up and you need a safe spot for a few weeks. 

2.  Rent Temporary Space Near Your New Home 

If you’ve moved out but your new home isn’t quite ready to house your RV, a short-term rental space nearby is a smart choice. It keeps your vehicle close without blocking your new driveway or street, which wouldn’t get you off to the best start with your neighbors. This way, you can also grab items from the RV if you need them without needing to drive too far. 

3.  Store It With Friends or Family 

If someone you know has a large driveway or extra land, you could ask to store your RV with them. One of the reasons this works so well is that it’s often low cost or even free, providing some relief amid the expense of moving. Remember that you are responsible for ensuring the space is safe, level, and big enough for the RV to sit comfortably. You should also check that their neighborhood rules allow oversized vehicles, as not all do.

4.  Check HOA or Community Storage Options 

Some neighborhoods offer community lots or oversized vehicle spaces for residents. Speak to your HOA or property manager to find out if this is the case. If so, it may be your best option as it will keep your RV close to home and usually works out more affordable than commercial facilities. 

5.  Use a Short-Term Parking Service

If you're selling your home, removing your RV from the driveway makes a big difference when it comes to buyers’ first impressions. Large vehicles draw away attention from the house and can make your property look smaller. It also makes it harder for the prospective buyer to imagine themselves living in the property. 

The idea is to show them a blank slate, so it’s easier to visualize what the property will look like with their belongings in it. Stagers and realtors will likely ask you to move the RV for photos and showings at the very least. Short-term storage can offer a spontaneous solution for moments like these.

Endnote

Don’t put off arranging RV storage. Some sensible ideas include using an RV storage facility, renting space in your new area, leaving it with friends or relatives, or asking your new HOA about local options. In the short term, you may be able to use parking nearby so your driveway is clear during staging, at least. Once your RV is safely tucked out of your way, you’re free to get on with the rest of your move.
