Rhode Island Bus Storage (Need Help!)

Hey yall I am soon closing a deal on a ford e450, that being said im hesitant to fully commit because I have nowhere to store the bus. I am 19, and live in Rhode Island and dont have the space to keep the bus. Thus I was wondering what options there are available for me that wont break the bank! Thanks!

I'd try contacting a storage unit company, although I'm not sure how friendly they'll be about you working on it while on their property.

I wouldnt be working on it at the storage unit I can work on it at my house, however I dont know if they would want me consistently taking the bus out of storage.

Any storage unit I’ve ever used has no stipulation about number of visits. They usually have a personalized code so you can access your stuff 24/7 so I doubt there would be an issue there. Lots of people use storage units to store vehicles. It’s usually fairly cheap if you opt for outdoor parking.

I do not think they would care about you taking it in and out of the unit. Most likely it would be outside storage anyway. I haven't seen any storage places with 12' doors. When you talk to them. Tell them what you want/need to do. Like RamRod said. That was my experience with my bus in storage this winter.

I have my Busses in a U-haul storage facility... in my case i have 24/7/365 access and people's vehicles are stored single deep so I can drive in and out anytime I want.. theres days i drive all 3 of my busses so im in and out several times.. you just have to tour the facility you are looking at to see if its made for in / out or truly just storage
