What the two Hempstead facilities offer
Public Storage is the busy one, with 739 reviews and a 4.8 rating. It handles covered, indoor, outdoor, boat and vehicle storage, and the site is gated and lit, which matters if you will be moving an RV in or out after dark. Self-Storage at U-Haul carries the same 4.8 rating but only 5 reviews, so the score tells you less. It offers indoor and outdoor vehicle spots plus 24/7 gate access, cameras, a wash bay and climate control. If you store anything with a battery or a water system, climate control is worth asking about.
Picking between covered and open air
Outdoor space is the cheaper path and fine for a trailer or a boat that already lives outside. Sun is the enemy here more than cold, and Long Island summers will fade gelcoat and crack old tires that sit in one spot. Covered storage keeps the worst of the UV off. Indoor storage costs more but keeps a rig out of hail and tree sap entirely. Ask about gate hours before you commit. One facility here runs 24/7 access, the other may not, and a locked gate at 9pm is a problem if you tow home late. Confirm what your insurance wants too.
Before you park for the season
Winterizing is not optional on Long Island, where a hard freeze can split a water line you forgot about. Drain the tanks and lines, or run antifreeze through them, and pull the batteries so they do not sit and die. A trickle maintainer keeps a battery alive through the off months if you have power at the spot. Wash the rig before it goes in, especially if you are headed for indoor storage, since salt and road grime sit and eat at metal all winter. Check that the facility allows you to work on your own vehicle there, and ask about wash bays. U-Haul lists one; Public Storage does not.
