As the temperature drops, many RVers gear up to follow the sun. Whether you're headed to Arizona, the Gulf Coast, or the Florida Keys, your winter escape starts long before the drive: it starts with knowing what to leave behind.

If you're a snowbird with multiple vehicles, seasonal equipment, or high-end recreational gear, the question isn't just where you're going. It's where you’re storing everything else.

At All Purpose Garages, we offer more than parking. We offer a winter solution for active travelers who need reliable, secure, and upscale storage because your off-season gear deserves more than a tarp and a padlock.

Why Snowbirds Need Smart Storage

1. Keep Your Property Safe While You're Away
Luxury RVs, trailers, watercraft, and spare vehicles are expensive assets. Leaving them exposed for months invites damage, theft, or fines. Our fully enclosed, lockable units keep your gear protected from weather, rodents, and prying eyes. No marina fees or curbside violations involved.

2. Protect What You Don't Need to Haul
You may not need to bring your tow-behind boat, enclosed car trailer, or entire snowmobile fleet to your winter base. Covered storage means you can choose what travels and what waits without compromising care or condition.

3. Avoid HOA or City Storage Restrictions
Neighborhood covenants and local ordinances often restrict oversized vehicle parking. Our storage keeps your property off the street and out of view, without risking citations or complaints.

4. Simplify Departure and Return
Come fall, it's easier to pack when everything is staged and accessible. Come spring, it's a relief to return and find your property just as you left it. With wide driveways, optional power, and 24/7 access, AP Garages makes transitions seamless.

What You Can Store During Your Winter Escape

Many of our snowbird customers use their units to store:

  • RVs and trailers not being used for the trip

  • Boats and jet skis during the off-season

  • Luxury or secondary vehicles

  • Snowblowers, plows, and winter-only tools

  • Outdoor furniture and seasonal home goods

  • Business inventory or contractor tools while traveling

Our large units feature tall doors, insulated walls, power access, and room to maneuver making them ideal for high-end rigs and seasonal transitions.

If you're investing in a premium lifestyle, your storage should reflect that. AP Garages offers:

  • Gated access and security lighting for peace of mind

  • Flexible leasing with long-term options for snowbirds

  • Optional power for battery tenders, lights, or light-duty work

  • Convenient access when you return home, even late-season
