Choosing the correct size for storing a vehicle, such as a boat, RV, or trailer, is essential. It ensures a comfortable and secure fit, preventing damage and enabling easy access. Picking a space that's too small can lead to cramped conditions and accidents, while an unnecessarily large space wastes resources. Accurately measuring your vehicle's dimensions and selecting an appropriate storage size ensures safety, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
1. Measure the length:
It is essential to measure the overall length of your boat, RV, or trailer, encompassing all attachments and extensions.
2. Consider the width:
Consider the width of your vehicle at its widest point, including any protrusions like slide-outs, awnings, or mirrors.
3. Account for height:
Measure the vehicle's height from the ground to its highest point to ensure sufficient vertical clearance.
4. Add extra Space:
Allocate some additional room around the vehicle to allow for maneuvering, maintenance, and proper ventilation. It is advisable to leave a buffer of approximately 1-2 feet on each side and a few extra feet in the front for easy access.
