We won a large RV in a contest, but we had never even given a thought to vacationing in an RV. We debated selling it in the classified ads, but decided to use it instead. Unfortunately, when it was delivered, we were surprised to find out that we would not be able to keep it parked on our street due to ordinances and we could not park it in our driveway because of the way it sloped down into our garage.

I remembered that I had seen RVs among all of the other vehicles that were stored on the grounds where we had our Santa Maria self storage unit. I called the manager to ask if they had a space large enough to store our RV and found out that they did. I knew that driving our new RV to the Santa Maria self storage facility was not going to be very difficult because most of the streets were not narrow, but I worried about maneuvering it around all of the buildings on the grounds. A few years ago, when we were comparing Santa Maria self storage units, we decided we liked the fact that this facility had an unoccupied unit close to the entrance to the facility. I had never driven toward the back of the property where the vehicle storage was located so I was not sure if the paths between the buildings of Santa Maria storage units were narrow or had sharp turns that would be difficult to manage with a large RV. I expressed my concerns to the facility manager and I was told that there was a separate entrance near the vehicle storage area to make it convenient for those customers that had large vehicles to store.
