An 8 by 19 foot outdoor parking space gives you 152 square feet, which is enough for a smaller boat on a trailer, a pop-up camper, a utility trailer, or a car, but not for most RVs. Berthoud Mini Storage offers this space at its Berthoud location, and you can reserve it online.
An 8x19 space is an open-air parking spot that is 8 feet wide and 19 feet long. It has no walls or roof, so it works for anything that fits within those dimensions and does not need an enclosed building. The facility describes it as a space for parking a boat, motorhome, trailer, camper, RV, or vehicle.
Because the space is narrow and fairly short, the key is fit. Width and length decide what works, and the numbers need to include everything attached to your vehicle, not just the body.
Several kinds of vehicles typically fit. A smaller boat on a trailer works well when the boat and trailer together stay under 19 feet from the tongue to the stern. Jet skis, small fishing boats, and bass boats on compact trailers are common examples.
Small campers fit too, including pop-up campers and teardrop trailers, as well as utility trailers, cargo trailers, and motorcycle or ATV trailers. Cars, small trucks, and compact SUVs also fit, as long as the overall length stays within the 19 foot limit and the width stays within 8 feet.
Most full-size RVs will not fit. Class A motorhomes, fifth wheels, and larger travel trailers commonly run well over 19 feet, and many Class C motorhomes are longer than that as well. A full-size crew cab truck may also run close to or over the limit.
Width matters as much as length. Many trailers and RVs are close to 8 feet wide at the body and wider at the fenders, mirrors, and awnings, so a rig that looks narrow can still be too wide for an 8 foot space. If you are close, plan for a larger space elsewhere.
Measure the whole vehicle as it will be parked. For length, run a tape from the front of the hitch or tongue to the rear of the last attached item, including spare tires, ladders, racks, and any motor in its raised position. For width, measure the widest point, including fenders, mirrors, and awnings.
Round up and leave a few feet of margin for backing in. If your total length is 17 or 18 feet, the fit may be tight, so confirm the space with the facility before you reserve. Sizes at any facility are approximate, so a call can save you a trip.
Berthoud sits on the northern Front Range, where strong sun, wind, hail, and winter snow all affect vehicles left outside. Sun fades paint, decals, and canvas and cracks rubber. Hail can dent boats, campers, and cars, and freezing nights can drain batteries and stress tires and fluids.
A fitted, breathable cover, tie-downs for wind, and regular checks help. For boats and campers, winterize before the first freeze, and remove anything valuable or sensitive from the vehicle.
A local space keeps your vehicle close and easy to reach. Berthoud Mini Storage serves the town with drive-up convenience, online rental and payment, and a clean, well-lit facility. The 8x19 space can be reserved for free online, and availability is limited, so check before you plan. The facility also has drive-up units for household items, so you can keep gear nearby, though several sizes have waiting lists.
You can also learn what to look for in a storage facility on the facility guide, and the property map is on the Map page.
The right choice comes down to fit. Measure your vehicle, compare it to 8 feet by 19 feet, and confirm any close call with the facility before you commit.
