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.
