CubeSmart Self Storage
Powell self-storage on Clinton Hwy with covered RV spots, gates, cameras and staff reviewers keep praising by name.
Powell sits just north of Knoxville, where summers turn sticky and winter swings from mild to freezing in a day. That back-and-forth is hard on an RV, especially the interior. Two climate-controlled facilities serve this area, both rated 4.7 by past customers. One runs 24/7 gate access. If you want your rig out of the weather and away from the temperature swings, this is the short list.

Powell self-storage with covered RV spots, gated 24/7 access, and staff praised for being helpful and kind.
An RV parked outside in Powell takes a beating from sun and humidity. UV fades decals and cooks vinyl and seals. Damp air works its way into cushions and cabinets, and a closed-up coach can grow a smell that never quite leaves. Climate control keeps the space more even, which helps upholstery, wood, and electronics last longer. It does not replace winterizing. If you store through cold months, drain the lines and add antifreeze anyway. Pull the batteries and put them on a maintainer, or at least disconnect them. Climate control buys you time and comfort, not immunity.
Both entries in Powell are CubeSmart Self Storage locations, each holding a 4.7 rating. One has 274 reviews and offers gated access and cameras. The other has 149 reviews and adds 24/7 gate access on top of gated entry and cameras. Both are listed as climate controlled and covered, and both handle vehicles as well as RVs. Read the reviews on each before you pick, since the two locations differ mostly in hours and size. If you like to move your rig early or late, the 24/7 one is the easier fit.
Call ahead and ask what size space your coach actually needs. Measure your rig with the slides in and the hitch included, then add a little room to open the bay door. Ask about gate hours if you plan to leave before dawn, and confirm how they want you to enter and exit after hours. Ask what the covered part protects against and whether the bay is fully enclosed. Bring your insurance details, since many policies cover stored vehicles and some ask you to note where it sits. Walk the space before signing and look at drainage and the driveway width for your rig.

Yes, 1 of the 2 offers 24/7 gate access. The other is gated with cameras but does not list round-the-clock entry. If your schedule is unpredictable, confirm the gate hours by phone before you book.
For most owners, yes. It moderates temperature swings and humidity that wear on upholstery, wood, and electronics. It does not replace winterizing or battery care, so drain the lines and disconnect the batteries regardless of how the space is controlled.
Ask for the exact space dimensions and whether the bay is fully enclosed. Confirm gate hours and after-hours entry steps. Bring your insurance details, walk the space to check drainage, and make sure the driveway is wide enough for your rig.
