MetroMaxx Car, Truck & Jeep Show Returns September 19 MetroMaxx and Judge’s Car & Truck Shows invite Southwest Florida back to 11659 Metro Parkway. MetroMaxx Recreational Vehicles & Boat Storage is partnering again with Judge’s Car & Truck Shows for the MetroMaxx Car, Truck & Jeep Show on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The show runs from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at MetroMaxx, 11659 Metro Parkway in Fort Myers, the same all-concrete, climate-controlled facility that hosted the first gathering on May 17. That spring show brought classic cars, custom trucks, Jeeps, and specialty vehicles inside MetroMaxx’s concrete perimeter walls, a sheltered setting that felt different from a typical open-lot cruise-in. More than 50 Best of Show trophies were awarded, along with overall Best of Show honors and a Manager’s Choice Award. September’s field is built to go bigger: Judge’s is listing over 75 trophies, 50-plus Best of Show awards, 20-plus Overall Best of Shows, a Manager’s Choice Award, and a $125 club participation award for groups of 12 or more. The day is open to cars, trucks, and Jeeps. Judge’s judges are former members of Premium Productions, and they score heavily on cleanliness. Best of Show can swing on a single point of detail work. Vehicles are classified as they roll onto the field (Stock, Semi Modified, Modified, or Custom). Five or more pre-registered specialty vehicles can request a new class; owners need to email Judge’s in advance. Clubs that want to roll in together should plan on that 12-vehicle minimum. Pre-registration is $30 online at judgescarshows.com through Thursday, September 17 at 6:00 p.m. (MasterCard, Visa, AMEX, or Discover). Mail-in pre-registration ends one week before the show. Day-of registration is 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and is $35 cash only. Display-only entries are $10 in advance or $15 the day of the show and are not eligible for a trophy. Awards are scheduled around 2:30 p.m. Beyond the judging, the September listing includes live music, food and drinks, a prize ...

Own the Boat or RV. Not the Building.


Luxury man cave style storage unit with epoxy flake floors, seating area, vehicles, and climate control inside MetroMaxx RV and Boat Storage in Fort Myers.

Storage condos are showing up around the country. The idea is simple. Instead of renting a space for your RV or boat, you buy the unit outright, take a deed, and join an owners association. It is a real trend and it works for some people. Before you sign, it is worth running the numbers on what ownership actually costs against what a lease costs. What you are buying when you buy A deeded storage unit is real estate. Everything that comes with real estate comes with it. You need a down payment and financing, or you pay cash. Either way the money is tied up in a building instead of working somewhere else. Closing costs, title work, and survey come out of pocket before you park anything inside. Then the annual costs start. Property taxes on the unit are in your name. Building insurance is in your name, and in Lee County that number has gone one direction since Ian. Association dues cover the gate, the cameras, the roof, the paving, and the climate system. Those dues go up. Special assessments are the part people do not plan for. When the roof needs replacing or the association raises reserves, every owner gets a bill. You do not get to decide the amount. Your neighbors vote on it. Selling it later The other cost is on the back end. There are not many buyers for a storage unit. It is a small market. When you want out you are looking for someone who wants that specific size, in that specific building, at that specific time. A house in Fort Myers has hundreds of buyers. A storage bay has a handful. If you sell the RV, or downsize, or decide you are done with the boat, you still own the unit. You are a landlord until it sells. What a lease costs Our single units are 16 feet by 50 feet and rent for $1,295 a month. Our double units are 32 by 50 and rent for ...

Why Climate-Controlled Indoor Storage Matters More Than Ever in Southwest Florida


View into a single climate-controlled storage unit at MetroMaxx in Fort Myers, showing white walls, a polished gray epoxy floor, wall-mounted air conditioning, fluorescent lighting, and a large open roll-up door with unit number 106 painted on the ground outside.

In Southwest Florida, the combination of intense summer heat, high humidity, salt air, and an active hurricane season creates some of the most challenging conditions in the country for storing RVs, boats, and collector vehicles. Outdoor or even covered storage simply cannot provide the consistent protection these high-value assets need. At MetroMaxx, every unit is fully enclosed and climate-controlled, a rare feature in the region. Temperature and humidity are regulated throughout the entire facility, not just in select areas. This controlled environment significantly reduces the risk of mildew, mold, corrosion, fading, and interior deterioration that commonly affect vehicles stored in traditional outdoor or partially covered facilities. The facility itself was designed with Florida’s unique challenges in mind. Constructed entirely of concrete (including the roof) and elevated 17 feet above sea level, MetroMaxx offers strong resistance to wind, debris, and flooding. Wide drive aisles, ground-level units with automatic roll-up doors, and 24/7 controlled access make it practical for owners of Class A motorhomes, large boats, and other oversized vehicles. Additional peace of mind comes from the facility’s security features, which include a solid concrete perimeter wall, heavy-duty gated entry, continuous high-definition video surveillance, license plate monitoring, and an on-site host. Units measure 16 feet wide by 50 feet deep, with a limited number of double-wide units available. All units include electrical service, and pricing starts at $1,295 per month. Long-term rental discounts are available. Whether you are storing a boat for the season, an RV between trips, or a classic car year-round, the combination of full climate control, concrete construction, and elevated location provides a level of protection that is difficult to match in Southwest Florida.

Get Ahead of Hurricane Season: Why Now Is the Time to Secure Climate-Controlled Storage


Spacious interior of a double-wide climate-controlled storage unit at MetroMaxx in Fort Myers, featuring white cinder block walls, a polished gray epoxy floor, multiple wall-mounted air conditioning units, bright fluorescent lighting, and a large roll-up door.

With hurricane season beginning June 1, Southwest Florida vehicle owners are once again facing the annual question of how best to protect their RVs, boats, and collector vehicles during the most active storm months of the year. At MetroMaxx, the answer is clear: fully enclosed, climate-controlled storage offers a level of protection that outdoor and covered options simply cannot match. Every unit at the Fort Myers facility is temperature- and humidity-controlled, helping prevent the mildew, corrosion, and interior damage that commonly occur in Florida’s hot, humid conditions. The facility itself was built with storm resilience in mind. Constructed entirely of concrete—including the roof—and elevated 17 feet above sea level, MetroMaxx provides strong resistance to high winds, flying debris, and flooding. Additional security features include a solid concrete perimeter wall, controlled gated access, 24/7 video surveillance, license plate monitoring, and an on-site host. Convenience remains a priority as well. Units feature ground-level automatic roll-up doors, wide drive aisles designed for large vehicles, and 24/7 access so owners can retrieve their RV or boat when needed. Standard units measure 16 feet wide by 50 feet deep, with a limited number of double-wide units also available. Pricing starts at $1,295 per month, and long-term rental discounts are offered. As demand for premium indoor storage typically increases heading into hurricane season, MetroMaxx encourages owners to reserve space early. Securing a climate-controlled unit now provides peace of mind well before the first named storm appears on the forecast.

MetroMaxx Recreational Vehicles & Boat Storage partnered with Judge’s Car & Truck Shows to host the MetroMaxx Car, Truck & Jeep Show on Sunday, May 17, 2026. The event took place at the facility located at 11659 Metro Parkway and ran from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The show welcomed a variety of classic cars, custom trucks, Jeeps, and specialty vehicles. More than 50 Best of Show trophies were awarded, along with overall Best of Show honors and a Manager’s Choice Award. Attendees noted the unique setting inside the facility’s concrete perimeter walls, which provided a sheltered, low-key atmosphere compared to typical open outdoor shows. MetroMaxx, Southwest Florida’s premier all-concrete, climate-controlled storage facility for RVs, boats, and high-value vehicles, offered an ideal backdrop for the gathering. The event highlighted the connection between vehicle enthusiasts and the importance of proper protection from Florida’s heat, humidity, and storms. MetroMaxx plans to continue supporting the local automotive community and has already scheduled a follow-up show for September 19, 2026.

MetroMaxx RV and Boat Storage opens premium facility in Fort Myers


MetroMaxx Recreational Vehicle & Boat Storage has opened a new premium indoor storage facility in Fort Myers, offering fully enclosed, climate-controlled protection for boats, RVs, classic cars, and other high-value vehicles. Built entirely of concrete—including the roof—the facility was designed so that all 95 units are climate-controlled. This is an uncommon feature in Southwest Florida, where climate control is often limited to only a portion of a property. By regulating temperature and humidity throughout the entire building, MetroMaxx delivers consistent year-round protection, including during hurricane season. The controlled environment helps shield vehicles from heat, humidity, salt air, and sun exposure—conditions that commonly lead to mildew, corrosion, fading, and interior damage. Because the units are fully indoor and climate-controlled, seasonal winterization is unnecessary. The facility sits 17 feet above sea level, adding an extra layer of protection against flooding. Located on Metro Parkway just minutes from Page Field Airport, MetroMaxx offers convenient access to major roadways throughout the region. Security features include controlled gated access, 24/7 video surveillance, license plate monitoring, and an on-site host. The property was also designed with convenience in mind. Wide drive aisles, ground-level units, automatic roll-up doors, and 24/7 drive-up access make it easy for owners of large vehicles to come and go. Standard units measure 16 feet wide by 50 feet deep, with a limited number of double units available at 32 feet by 50 feet. Pricing starts at $1,295 per month and includes electricity and premium amenities. Discounts are available for long-term rentals. With full climate control inside a solid concrete structure, MetroMaxx provides a high standard of protection for owners who want long-term peace of mind for their vehicles.
