Caravan and campervan ownership in Australia is at an all-time record high with an increase of 21% since 2019. It may surprise you to know that in 2023, there were almost 859,000 of these vehicles registered.

While I was looking at these statistics I also discovered that the average use of these vehicles is 41 nights per year which means there are a whole lot of caravans out there sitting idle for many weeks of the year, possibly taking up valuable space at home.

I decided to look into these statistics after being contacted recently by the owner of a caravan storage facility, North West Storage in Victoria, who was keen to inform the caravanning community about the facility, including my readers and followers of Caravan Correspondent.

There are obviously some great benefits to using a storage facility including protecting your van from damage and theft, having the security of a monitored facility, freeing up some space at home, and even the possibility of lower insurance premiums as some insurers provide discounts for secured storage.

North West Storage seems worthwhile considering for those living in Victoria, being conveniently located at 70 Dillon Court, Diggers Rest, only 28 kilometres from Melbourne city. The location in a private court provides great security for your van and the fully fenced property is monitored 24/7 by CCTV surveillance. To add to your peace of mind, the premises are guarded by security dogs at night and there is an on-site caretaker.

When you want access to your van, it’s easily done with mobile activated gates allowing you convenient entry between 7am and 7pm. All size vehicles are catered for with dedicated bays for caravans as well as boats and other large vehicles and the wide driveways and bays make it easy to park and retrieve your van.

The storage bays are open but you can always fit a high quality weatherproof cover to your van, to protect against UV rays, rain and dust.

When it comes to the cost for storage, North West Storage are priced very affordably with the monthly rate being $140, or for a limited time they are offering a saving of over $600 with a fee of just $1000 for an entire year.

If you’re interested in seeing the facility or finding out more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch directly with North West Storage via email or phone and arrange a site visit. You’ll also find some handy tips on their website, on how to prepare your van for storage. Their contact details are:
