Is Boat or RV Storage Worth It? What Morinville Residents Should Know

If your RV or boat is sitting in the driveway, costing you space, and collecting damage, here’s why storage might be the smarter (and cheaper) option in the long run.

The Hidden Costs of Parking at Home

It may feel convenient to park your RV or boat on your own property — but for many in Legal, Morinville, and nearby St. Albert, it’s not actually the best option.

Here’s why:

  • HOA restrictions or bylaw enforcement can lead to fines or notices

  • Sun exposure, hail, and harsh winters degrade your vehicle faster

  • Security risks when you’re away from home

  • Blocked driveways or yards limit your space and mobility

And in places like Alberta, where seasonal weather shifts are extreme, this wear and tear adds up.

Storage Isn’t Just About Space — It’s About Preservation

Renting outdoor storage for your RV or boat doesn’t just clear your property. It also protects your investment.

At Legal Self Storage, we offer:

  • Spacious outdoor stalls built for RVs and boats

  • Gated facility with secure access

  • Flexible, month-to-month terms

  • Convenient location near Legal, Morinville, and St. Albert

And most importantly: peace of mind between road trips and lake days.

Who Uses RV & Boat Storage in the Area?

You might be surprised how common it is in our community.
