Fort McMurray to Legal: Why People Store Their RVs Closer to Home Base
If you’re based in Fort McMurray but frequently travel south, here’s why storing your RV or boat in Legal might be a smarter move.
Why Store Your RV Farther South?
It’s a question we often hear:
“Why would someone from Fort McMurray store their RV near Legal?”
Turns out — there are good reasons:
Seasonal residents with homes or land in Central Alberta
Snowbirds who stop over before heading south
Work commuters who prefer staging their RV closer to Edmonton
RV renters or sellers using Legal as a handoff point
And of course, some just want storage that’s easier to access year-round — without the long northern drive.
What Makes Legal a Good Storage Hub?
Legal Self Storage sits just off Highway 2 — making it ideal for RV owners coming from Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, or northern Alberta.
Here’s what makes it work:
Wide outdoor storage spaces for RVs and boats
Secure, fenced-in facility with surveillance
Month-to-month flexibility for seasonal use
No-hassle local service — no call centers, no long waits
It’s not just about location. It’s about convenience and peace of mind.
Who This Works Best For
Campers & retirees who visit family down south
Tradespeople or project workers heading to sites near Edmonton
RV owners renting out rigs during summer
Folks downsizing or selling their home in Fort Mac
If you’re not using your RV every week, storing it here could mean less stress and more flexibility.
