Caravan Storage Units Commonly Asked Questions
How Much Does it Cost to Store a Caravan?
The price of caravan storage varies greatly depending on location and storage type, but typically you should expect to pay anywhere from $22 a week to $60 a week.
City | Open Storage | Undercover Storage |
---|---|---|
Brisbane/Gold Coast | From $132/month | From $160 - $180/month |
Melbourne | From $42 - 80/month | From $75 - 125/month |

Perth | From $110/month | Quote Required |
Adelaide | From $72 - $125/month | From $140 - $168/month |
Keep in mind that these prices do not include fifth wheeler Caravans or larger motorhomes. For larger vehicles, you will need to get in contact with the commercial facility to request a quote. You should expect to pay around $20-$40 more each month depending on the facility, level of security and the size of your vehicle. Another storage option, not included in the table above, is Undercover Shade Sails which sit in the mid range between undercover storage and open storage costs.
If you’re storing your caravan with a commercial operator, your caravan will most likely need to be registered and insured. Most traditional options are usually located at the fringe of the cities or close to airports, which can be quite inconvenient if you’re planning to visit or use your caravan regularly. Some storage facilities even offer caravan washing services and 24/7 onsite security.
How Should I Store My Caravan?
Although caravans are designed for the outdoors, leaving them to stand for extended periods of time isn’t ideal. We spoke to Wade and Dani from 'Travel With Wade And Dani', who have just completed their very own campervan build, about how they keep their caravan protected in storage. They recommend storing your caravan in a dry and covered spot, if possible with concrete for optimal protection against rain and dust. A canvas cover will also help guard against harsh weather conditions such as high winds that could damage your caravan’s exterior.
You can find extensive storage checklists usually in your caravan’s product manual or on blogs such as RVDaily. For Wade and Dani, they found that emptying the water tanks, emptying grey or black water, keeping the batteries topped up and storing their caravan on level ground to be the most important. Most checklists also recommend servicing your caravan before putting it into storage to prevent development of rust, and conducting a thorough deep clean of the interior, particularly the fridge and freezer.
If you don’t have appropriate caravan storage at home, you can rent a space from a commercial facility or property owner nearby. Kerbside storage is not recommended, as local councils are targeting on-street caravan parking with fines of $99 or more.
Is it OK to Store a Caravan Outside?
Yes, it is okay to store a caravan outside but it’s not recommended without protection. Van covers are a great way to keep leaves, bird droppings and water stains from damaging the paint exterior. Make sure to tie your van cover down properly to ensure it’s 100% waterproof. It’s also important to cover your tyres to protect them from UV damage.
Parking your caravan on a flat surface is highly recommended. Some storage facilities suggest you should pump your tyres to maximum tyre pressure to avoid flat spots. Most experts recommend storing your caravan under an awning or carport for full protection if possible.
Is it OK to Store a Caravan on Grass?
It is okay to store your caravan on grass, but it’s not ideal for long-term storage (6 months or more). Grass and weeds can grow up through the wheels and dampness can crack or damage your tyres. Wade and Dani recommend laying down some PVC sheeting underneath your caravan as well as putting bricks beneath the tyres to create a solid foundation.
