More people than ever are choosing to explore the UK by road and water and with that growing sense of adventure comes the need for somewhere safe and convenient to keep their vehicles. From caravans and motorhomes to boats and classic cars, demand for secure outdoor storage has never been higher. At Hogleaze Storage, we’re proud to provide the kind of trusted facilities owners are looking for and to help you understand what’s driving this trend and how we can make storage simple, secure, and stress-free.

Why More People Are Turning to Secure Vehicle Storage

Whether you own a caravan, motorhome, or boat, finding the right place to store it safely and conveniently is becoming increasingly important. Here’s what’s driving that demand and why secure facilities like Hogleaze Storage are becoming the preferred choice for so many owners.

Staycations & Local Adventures

With the rising cost and unpredictability of overseas travel, more people are embracing the freedom of exploring the UK. Caravans and motorhomes offer the flexibility to holiday on your own terms, and that means keeping them secure between trips is essential. At Hogleaze, you can store your vehicle with confidence and easy access whenever the next adventure calls.

Growing Ownership

The number of caravans and motorhomes on UK roads continues to climb (over 225,000 motorhomes are now registered nationwide). As ownership grows, so does the need for reliable storage that keeps vehicles protected and ready for use year-round.

Boating on the Rise

Boating remains a much-loved pastime, especially along the South Coast. It is very expensive to moor in Marinas, so more owners are looking for affordable, safe, convenient places to store their boats during the off-season or between trips. Hogleaze is well-positioned to meet this need, offering secure outdoor plots with cutting-edge security and 24/7 access. 

Expanding Used Vehicle Market

With new models sometimes harder to source and rising costs across the board, many buyers are turning to the used market. This means even more caravans, motorhomes, and boats in circulation and a growing need for trusted, affordable storage solutions.

Space at Home Is Limited

Driveways and garages aren’t always big enough for larger vehicles, and leaving them on the road can invite damage, theft, or weather exposure. Leaving a vehicle at home can also create security risks: thieves may notice when your motorhome or caravan is parked there, and if it disappears for trips, it signals that your home is unoccupied. Purpose-built storage at Hogleaze frees up valuable space at home while ensuring your vehicle is protected, secure, and accessible whenever you need it.

Security, Access & Peace of Mind

More owners now expect professional facilities with robust security, clear access, and well-maintained plots – and rightly so. Storing with Hogleaze means your vehicle is kept in a secure, regulated environment that meets all local requirements, so you can enjoy total peace of mind.

Why Choose Hogleaze Storage?

If you own a caravan, motorhome, boat, or classic car, finding a secure and convenient place to keep it when it’s not in use can make all the difference. As more people embrace outdoor adventures and leisure travel, facilities like Hogleaze Storage are ideally set up to meet these growing needs – offering space, security, and peace of mind.

Top Tips for Looking After Your Vehicle in Storage

When you’re storing your caravan, motorhome, boat, or trailer, a little preparation goes a long way in keeping it in great condition. Here are a few simple steps to help you make the most of your time at Hogleaze Storage and protect your pride and joy all year round.

1. Choose a Solid, Well-Drained Plot

Make sure your vehicle is parked on a level, firm surface. This helps prevent issues with the chassis or tyres and keeps your vehicle stable during long stays.

2. Keep Your Insurance Up to Date

Even when your vehicle is stored securely, it’s important to maintain valid insurance cover. That way, you’re protected no matter what.

3. Look After Your Tyres

Check tyre pressures regularly and, if you’re storing for an extended period, consider using jack stands to reduce pressure on the tyres. It’s a small step that can make a big difference to longevity.

4. Use the Right Covers

If you’re using a cover or tarp, make sure it’s breathable, UV-resistant, and securely fastened (especially in windy weather). This helps protect your vehicle’s finish without trapping moisture.

5. Winterise Boats and Motorhomes Properly

Before long-term or winter storage, take time to drain water systems, protect engines, and cover exposed parts. It’s the best way to prevent frost damage and ensure a smooth start when you’re ready to get back on the water or road.

Store with Confidence at Hogleaze
