What You'll Find
The 3 facilities here split across the storage types: 1 covered, 2 indoor and 2 outdoor, so some sites cover more than one category.

With 12 more facilities nearby, you have room to compare before you commit. Iowa weather does a number on gelcoat and rubber. Cover or go indoors if you can.
Picking Your Spot
Match the storage type to how you use the rig. Indoor keeps sun, hail and snow off the roof and seals, and it is worth the extra cost if you park for months at a time. Covered splits the difference. Outdoor is cheapest and fine for a rig you move often, but plan on washing it more. Ask about gate hours before you sign; 2 of these facilities run 24/7 access, and the rest may not. Walk the lot at night if you can. Confirm your insurance covers the rig while it sits, and check whether the facility wants a copy of your policy.
Before You Park It
A few habits save money later. Top off the fuel and add stabilizer if the rig will sit a season. Pull the batteries or put them on a maintainer so they don't drain. Empty the tanks and fridge, and leave the fridge door propped. In Iowa, freeze comes early, so winterize the water system before the first hard cold even if you plan to use the rig. Check the tire pressures and cover the tires against UV. Visit the facility in person, look at the gate and cameras, and read the rental agreement for access and notice terms before you hand over a deposit.
