Sharing Your RV Lot With a Friend: What to Consider
If you’re looking into affordable RV lots and wondering whether you can split the space (and the costs) with a friend, the good news is that it’s often possible, as long as local regulations and facility policies allow. Our outdoor storage stalls measure 12 feet wide by 40 feet long, which typically provides enough room for two smaller trailers or a single RV plus extra gear. Sharing can be a budget-friendly way to store vehicles when you both travel infrequently or when you’re rotating seasonal use.
The first thing to keep in mind is the arrangement between you and your friend. If you plan to co-store personal items or multiple vehicles, make sure everyone involved understands the terms, such as who is responsible for unlocking or moving equipment and who oversees insurance coverage. When sharing an RV lot, it’s also a good idea to document care instructions and any cost-splitting details in writing so there’s no confusion down the road.
Next, check with your storage provider to confirm any guidelines about co-storage. At our facility, we allow multiple pieces of equipment in one stall, as long as it fits within the designated space. This can include an RV alongside a second trailer, boat, or even smaller vehicles. On the other hand, if both of you have larger rigs, you may prefer separate stalls to simplify access, especially if you each plan to come and go frequently. Also, remember that some facilities issue a single access code or key for each lot, so shared use requires good communication about who needs entry and when.
Finally, think about long-term convenience. If cost is your main motivator, splitting a stall can be a great short-term solution to reduce your monthly rate. However, you may find that each of you having your own spot, such as our dedicated RV Storage space, offers greater flexibility. Ultimately, whether you share depends on how often you use your vehicles, how willing you are to coordinate with someone else, and the facility policies in place.
Feel free to reach out if you have more questions about setting up an arrangement that works for you. We aim to provide a clear, stress-free storage experience so you can enjoy every aspect of RV ownership.
