What is actually available
Two facilities show up inside New Bedford. Public Storage earns 4.8 stars across 155 reviews and covers the widest range of needs, with covered, indoor and outdoor spaces plus room for a boat and a vehicle. It is gated and lit, which matters if you plan to move the rig after dark. Self-Storage at U-Haul is the other option, rated 3.0 on just 2 reviews, offering indoor and outdoor vehicle storage with cameras and access around the clock. Neither one is a bad call on paper. The review counts simply tell you which place has more drivers vouching for it.
Coastal air and your rig
Wind off the bay carries moisture and salt, and neither is gentle on a stored vehicle. Indoor space gives you the most protection, but if you go with covered or outdoor storage, a quality cover and a good coat of wax go a long way. Check the ground where you park. Low spots that hold water after a storm are worth avoiding. If the rig sits through the winter, pull the battery or put it on a maintainer so it is ready when the season turns. Ask about gate hours before you commit. One facility here runs 24/7 access, and the other may not, which changes how easily you can get in and out on your own schedule.
Comparing the two
Start with what you are storing. A boat or a trailer has different needs than a daily driver you are parking for a few months. Public Storage lists boat space among its types, so it covers more ground if you own more than one kind of vehicle. Self-Storage at U-Haul has cameras and a wash option, and its 24/7 access suits owners who can only move things on odd hours. Ratings are a starting point, not a verdict. With 155 reviews behind one rating and 2 behind the other, read the comments and visit both in person. Look at the pavement, the fencing, the lighting and how tight the turns are for a larger rig.

Does coastal weather affect a stored vehicle in New Bedford?
