Lund Motors Adel
RV and boat storage on Fairground Rd in Adel, with indoor, climate controlled space and outdoor spots.
Adel is a small town west of Des Moines, and storage here runs small too. Two facilities serve the area, both rated 5.0, with six more nearby if you widen the search. Wind, sun and Iowa hail do the real damage to a parked rig, so think hard about what covers it. The listings below are what is actually available.

Lund Motors Adel and Westside Outdoor Storage both carry a 5.0 rating from a handful of reviews, so you are choosing between two well-regarded operations rather than sorting through a pile of listings. Lund Motors handles indoor and outdoor spots plus boat, trailer and vehicle storage, and its features include a gate and lighting. Westside is outdoor only and takes boats, trailers, vehicles and semis. Call ahead and ask what the gate hours actually are, then compare them to when you can realistically move a rig. That detail matters more than the star rating.
Outdoor spots lead with two, indoor has one, and there is no covered or climate-controlled storage listed in town. Boats and trailers also show two each, vehicles two, and semi parking one. Nobody here advertises 24/7 gate access, so plan your drop-off and pickup around staffed hours. For an RV, outdoor means sun on the roof and gelcoat year after year. Wash and wax before you park it, and if the site allows it, use a cover that breathes. Check the tires rather than letting them sit loaded in one spot all winter.
Iowa winters are hard on batteries and fuel systems. Pull the battery and keep it on a maintainer somewhere warmer, and top off the tank with stabilizer before the first hard freeze. Rodent screening over intake and exhaust openings saves a spring surprise. Ask each facility how they handle snow removal and whether you can get to your unit after a storm. Confirm in writing what your insurance covers while the rig sits on someone else's property, since storage yard rules vary. A quick photo walk-around at drop-off protects you if anything shifts over the season.
There are 2 facilities listed in Adel, and 6 more nearby if you are willing to drive a bit. Both local ones hold a 5.0 rating, so the choice comes down to the type of spot and the features you need.
Yes, 1 facility offers indoor storage. Covered and climate-controlled spots are not listed in town, so if you need those, the 6 nearby facilities are worth a call. Indoor suits a rig you want out of the weather.
Yes. The listings show 2 facilities taking boats and 2 taking trailers, plus 2 for vehicles and 1 for semis. Confirm your trailer's length and tongue setup with the facility before booking, since space is limited in a small town.
None of the Adel listings advertise 24/7 gate access. Ask about gate hours when you call, and match them to when you can actually move the rig. If you need odd-hour access, check the nearby facilities before committing.
