Does Indoor Storage Reduce RV Depreciation?

Does indoor storage reduce RV depreciation? Yes. The RV will still depreciate. That is just a fact. But the rate of depreciation will be slowed. Is there a trade-off? Yes. Typically, indoor (also known as enclosed) RV storage costs more per month than outdoor RV storage. What if the indoor RV storage is not climate-controlled? Well, the ultimate storage environment is indoor AND climate-controlled. An RV being stored indoors in Arizona will still get very warm in the summer if it is not climate-controlled. At least that rig will be sheltered from the unrelenting sun and UV exposure as well as the wind, dust, and potential hail damage. But, if there is no climate-controll, then the monthly cost of the indoor RV storage should be less. Indeed, there are many factors that will affect your decision.
