Owning an RV in Lago Vista is easy. Finding somewhere to keep it is the hard part. Many neighborhoods around Lake Travis limit how long a motorhome or travel trailer can sit in a driveway or on the street, and a rig that size does not fit in a garage. Alliance Storage, at 18104 Sylvester Ford Rd in Lago Vista, offers open and covered RV storage next to Jonestown. This guide covers the space sizes, what each costs, what the power hookups are for, and how to pick the right space for a specific rig.

RV storage sizes and prices at Alliance Storage

• Covered RV parking, 15x51, 15 feet high, semi-enclosed: $205 per month. The largest space on the property. Select spaces include 110V power.

These are standard monthly rates. Current availability is on the rent storage page.

Which space fits which RV

Two measurements decide it: overall length and overall height. Measure length from the front bumper or trailer tongue to the furthest point at the back, including a ladder, spare tire, or bike rack. Measure height to the top of the tallest rooftop item, which is usually an air conditioner or a satellite dome.

• Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels: the 15x51 covered space. Most of these rigs stand taller than 12 feet, so the 15-foot height is what makes the difference.
• Class C motorhomes and mid-size travel trailers: the 12x31 covered space if the rig is under 31 feet long and under 12 feet tall, or the 12x40 open space for longer trailers.
• Camper vans, pop-ups, and small camper trailers: the 12x30 gravel space or the 12x31 covered space.

All RV spaces at Alliance Storage are back-in. Leave a few feet of length to spare so backing in is comfortable.

What the 110V power is for

An RV that sits for weeks slowly drains its house batteries, and a battery left flat for long does not recover well. A covered space with power lets an owner leave a battery maintainer connected, so the rig starts and the systems work on the day of the trip. Power is available on select covered spaces, not all of them. Ask which spaces have it, and what it supports, when reserving.

Covered or open RV storage in Central Texas

Open storage costs less and suits a rig that is on the road often. Covered storage suits a rig that sits between trips. Texas sun dries out roof sealant, window seals, and tires, and hail season in the Hill Country is hard on roofs, vents, and awnings. A covered, semi-enclosed space keeps direct sun and hail off the RV. For an owner who plans to keep the rig for years, that protection is usually worth the difference in rent.

Access, security, and location

Gate access is 24/7, every day, with a keypad gate, so an early departure or a late return does not depend on office hours. The property has perimeter fencing, full-site lighting, and digital video surveillance, with onsite personnel during office hours. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, Saturday by appointment, and closed Sunday. The phone is answered 24/7.

Alliance Storage is on Sylvester Ford Rd in Lago Vista, next to Jonestown and minutes from Lake Travis. RV owners in Point Venture and on the Leander side of the lake also use it as a base for trips into the Texas Hill Country.
