RV, Boat & Vehicle Storage in Des Moines, IA

Storing an RV, boat, or vehicle is different from storing boxes in a climate controlled unit. You need space, easy access, and security. You don't need someone to have to maneuver a 40 foot RV through narrow hallways or tight parking areas. You need to back in, lock up, and leave.

That's where drive up vehicle storage makes sense.

In Des Moines, a lot of people own RVs or boats they use seasonally. You head out to Saylorville Lake in summer, hit the road for a week or two, or take weekend trips. The rest of the year? Your RV is sitting somewhere. The same goes for boats, classic cars, or work vehicles you don't use year round. You need a safe place to park it that doesn't require a production to get it in and out.

Here's what to look for in vehicle storage and what we offer at b.Mac's.

Why Drive Up Access Matters

Most storage facilities force you to navigate indoor hallways to reach your unit. That works for furniture, boxes, and seasonal items. It doesn't work for an RV.

Think about it. You're backing a 35 foot motorhome into a unit through climate controlled hallways. You're worried about knocking a mirror off. You're hoping the driver behind you is patient. By the time you get parked, you're stressed out. That's not convenient storage. That's a hassle.

Drive up units solve this completely. You pull in, back straight into your space, close the door, and you're done. Next time you need your RV? Same thing in reverse. In and out in minutes, not in an hour dealing with maneuvering.

At b.Mac's in Northwest Des Moines, our vehicle storage units are all drive up. Roll in, park, lock it up. That's the point.

Storage Space That Fits Your Vehicle

RVs come in different sizes. A travel trailer might be 30 feet. A Class A motorhome could be 40 feet. Boats vary just as much, from 20 foot runabouts to 35 foot cruisers. Vintage cars might be wide and long. You need storage that accommodates your specific vehicle without wasting money on space you don't need.

We offer multiple sizes.

Available Vehicle Storage Sizes

A 10x20 unit fits most travel trailers. A 10x30 or 12x30 handles larger motorhomes. Our tallest doors are 12 and 14 feet, high enough for nearly any RV or boat. You're not cramming your vehicle into a space that's too small, and you're not paying for twice the space you need.

Security You Can Count On

When you're storing something valuable, whether it's a $60,000 RV or a vintage truck you restored, security matters. You need to know that someone isn't wandering around looking at what you have stored. You need cameras, gated access, and the ability to lock your unit with your own lock.

b.Mac's has video surveillance covering the property. Gated entry means only customers can get in. You control your own lock on your unit. You can access your vehicle 24/7 if you're approved for it. That's real security, not a promise, but actual systems that work.

Power When You Need It

Some RVs need to keep the battery charged over winter. Some boats need a trickle charger on the engine battery. Some people want to run a small light in their unit. Facilities that don't offer power force you to run extension cords from your truck or deal with a dead battery when you need it.

Our vehicle storage units have power outlets available. You can plug in a battery charger and walk away. Your RV's systems stay ready. Your boat's battery doesn't die. It's a small thing that actually matters.

Vehicle Storage Costs in Des Moines

Vehicle storage in Des Moines runs $150 to $200 per month depending on unit size. That's the cost of convenient, secure parking. Compare that to paying for a second parking spot at an apartment or condo, which you can't do anyway, or leaving your RV in a gravel lot somewhere exposed to weather and theft.

If you use your RV even a few times a year, this is the obvious choice.

Flexible Storage Without the Hassle

Some people store their RV year round. Some store it just for winter. Some need a place to park between trips. You shouldn't have to commit to a year long contract for three months of storage. Look for a facility that offers month to month options and flexibility.

At b.Mac's storage, we work with what you need. If you're storing for the season, great. If you need it for two months, we make that work. Bring your vehicle in whenever you need secure parking, and leave whenever you're ready.

The Bottom Line

RV and vehicle storage should be simple. Back in, lock up, peace of mind. Not complicated. Not inconvenient. Not stressful. You own the vehicle to enjoy it, not to worry about where it's sitting when you're not using it.
