What the three facilities offer
The headline names here are Extra Space Storage at 5.0 stars from 70 reviews, Greens Storage at 4.8 from 130, and Self-Storage at U-Haul at 5.0 from 11. Greens Storage carries indoor and vehicle storage plus climate control and boat capability. Self-Storage at U-Haul has indoor and outdoor space, 24/7 gate access, cameras, a wash, and climate control. Extra Space handles vehicle storage. That is the whole list, so if you need indoor, you are choosing between Greens and U-Haul. Read the feature tags on each facility before you call, because the mix is not identical. The ratings are high and the review counts are not huge, which usually means a steady local customer base rather than a marketing push.
Indoor or outdoor, sun or hail
Inland Escondido gets real summer heat and UV, and that is hard on paint, tires, and dashboards. Indoor storage is the better answer if the rig sits for months at a time. Both Greens Storage and Self-Storage at U-Haul list indoor space, so you have two options there. The outdoor spot at the U-Haul facility suits a car you move often or a second vehicle you are not precious about. Wherever you land, pull the battery or put it on a maintainer, and expect tires to flat-spot if it sits. Wash before you park it, not after. Hail is uncommon here but not impossible, and covered space is not on the menu at any of the three. Ask what your auto policy says about a stored vehicle while you are at it.
Gate hours and practical checks
Only one of the three facilities advertises 24/7 gate access, and that is Self-Storage at U-Haul. If you work odd hours or tend to move the car at night, start there. The other two run on set hours, so confirm them before you sign anything, and confirm whether you get a gate code or a person at the desk after hours. Ask about cameras and lighting at each site. U-Haul lists cameras, the others do not mention it in the tags. Walk the aisle where your vehicle would sit and look at drainage, turning room, and whether anyone else is parked tight against the space. A tight approach is the thing people regret most with a longer rig or a trailer.
