Covered and indoor options
Of the 12 storage locations in Merrillville, 3 offer covered parking and 5 have indoor units. Covered spots shield your rig from direct sun and hail, but they still leave it exposed to blowing snow and temperature swings. Indoor storage costs more but keeps the coach out of the elements entirely. If you go that route, ask whether the building is heated or just enclosed, and check ceiling height before you commit. For a travel trailer or fifth wheel, measure the tallest point including the air conditioner. Indoor spaces fill up before winter, so start calling in early fall. Outdoor spots are the most common and the cheapest, but they leave your RV fully exposed. A good cover and regular waxing help, but they won't stop UV damage on decals and tires. Rotate the tires or park on boards to avoid flat spots.
Access and security
Seven of the 12 Merrillville facilities offer 24-hour access, which matters if you come back late from a trip or need to leave before dawn. The rest have office hours, so confirm the gate schedule fits your plans. Top-rated spots like Public Storage and StorageMart combine 24-hour access with gated entry and cameras. Reasonable Self Storage of Merrillville also has 24-hour access, cameras, and lit grounds. Even with cameras, visit in person and look at lighting and fencing. Ask how often the gate code changes. Insurance is usually up to you, so check your policy covers the RV while it sits in storage.
Winter prep for northern Indiana
Lake-effect snow and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on RVs left outside. Before storing, drain the water lines and add RV antifreeze, or blow them out with air. Pull the batteries and keep them on a maintainer in a dry spot. Seal up any gaps where mice might get in, and leave vents cracked for airflow. Indoor storage cuts down on weather damage but doesn't stop mice, so set traps anyway. If you use covered storage, check the roof for snow load after big storms. A little prep in fall saves repair bills in spring.
