Where is Elite RV & Storage located?
Elite RV & Storage is at 8700 Scobee Street, Bakersfield, CA 93311, by the Walmart on Gosford Road between White Lane and Panama Lane in southwest Bakersfield.
What size storage units do you have?
Units range from about 600 square feet up to 2,220 square feet, and every unit is 20 feet wide. All units are fully enclosed and drive-up, and several are drive-through so you can pull in one end and out the other.
Do you offer covered or outdoor parking spaces?
No. Every space at Elite RV & Storage is a fully enclosed unit with walls, a roof and a roll-up door. There are no open-lot or covered-only spaces.
How big are the roll-up doors?
Most units have 12-foot by 12-foot roll-up doors, and some units have 14-foot by 14-foot doors. Many Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels stand taller than 12 feet once the roof air conditioner is counted, so measure to the highest point of your rig and ask for a 14-foot door if you need the extra clearance.
What is the ceiling height inside the units?
Ceilings are 16 feet high, which leaves room for tall vehicles, boats with towers, and stacked shelving or pallet racking.
How wide are the units?
Every unit is 20 feet wide. The depth varies by unit, which is what sets the square footage.
Can I park two cars side by side?
Yes. Because every unit is 20 feet wide, two cars fit side by side in a single unit.
Do the units have a walk-in door?
Yes. Units have a 3-foot by 7-foot entry door in addition to the roll-up door, so you can get in and out without opening the large door.
Are the floors concrete?
Yes. All unit floors are concrete, and so are all of the drive aisles on the property.
Do the storage units have electricity?
Yes. Units have 120-volt electrical outlets and fluorescent lighting inside.
Are the units insulated or climate controlled?
The units are insulated, with R30 insulation in the ceiling and R19 in the walls. They are not climate controlled, but the insulation noticeably reduces the heat a stored vehicle or inventory sits through during a Bakersfield summer.
What is the longest RV you can store?
Elite RV & Storage can accommodate an RV up to 45 feet long, as long as the unit is deep enough for it. Give us your overall length with the hitch or bumper included and we will match you to a unit that fits.
Is there an RV dump station on site?
Yes. There is a dump station on the property, and there is no charge to use it.
Can I work on my vehicle inside the unit?
No. No work of any kind may be performed on a vehicle at the facility, including changing the oil, antifreeze or any other fluids.
Can I work inside my storage unit?
Tenants can do some minor work inside their unit, but no retail activity is allowed. For a fuller look at what business use of a storage unit involves, read our guide to whether you can run a business out of a storage unit.
Can I install shelving or pallet racking?
Yes. Tenants can install their own shelving or pallet racking. Anything mounted to the floor or the walls needs the owner's approval before it is installed.
Can I have deliveries sent to my unit?
Yes. Freight and carrier deliveries can be brought directly to your unit, as long as you are there to receive them.
Can a carrier pick up shipments from my unit?
Yes. Carriers can schedule outbound pickups from the property, as long as you are present when the shipment is picked up.
Can I use the facility address as my business or mailing address?
No. The facility address cannot be used as a business address or a mailing address. Our article on using a storage unit as a business address covers the alternatives.
What items are not allowed in storage?
You cannot store combustible liquids, plants, perishable food or live animals.
Do I need insurance to rent a unit?
Insurance is not required, but it is recommended. Tenant insurance is offered when you rent your unit.
How secure is the facility?
The property has 34 security cameras with continuous recording, a secure gated entrance with tenant passcode access, and an after-hours break-in alarm on the entrance. Every unit is fully enclosed, so what you store stays out of sight.
