Picking the right spot
Match the facility to how you use the rig. If you pull out most weekends, 24/7 access saves you a phone call, and four of the six here have it. If the RV sits for months, indoor or covered space protects against sun and UV wear that fades decals and cracks tires. Ask about gate hours anyway, since access rules vary by facility even when the listing says 24/7. Walk the lot before signing. Look at drainage, lighting and how tight the turns are for a long trailer. Confirm the facility accepts your length and height. Then check your insurance policy covers the rig while it is stored off your property.
Chico weather and your rig
Valley heat is the main thing. UV breaks down rubber seals, roof sealant and tire sidewalls, so a cover or shade structure pays off over a few seasons. Keep the battery on a maintainer if you have power, or pull it and store it somewhere cool. Rodents find their way into engine bays and storage compartments, so seal openings and check wiring now and then. Before winter rains, walk the roof seams and reseal anything that looks cracked. If your spot is unpaved, park on boards or gravel to keep tires off damp ground.
