Caravan and RV storage in Echuca
Between trips, a caravan has to live somewhere. Plenty of Echuca and Moama streets, strata rules and backyards don’t have room for one, and a van parked in the sun for months ages fast: seals crack, decals fade and tyres perish.
Echuca Storage, 11 Murray Valley Highway, Echuca, has lock-up, drive-up units sized for caravans, camper trailers and smaller RVs. Doors in the boat and caravan area are 3,000 mm (3.0 m) high. There is room to tow in and turn, and trucks can drive in. Gate access is 8am–8pm, 7 days. Call (03) 4410 8566 with your van’s length and height.
$1 first 4 weeks for new customers, then the normal rate. 3-month minimum stay, direct debit only, ends 31 Dec 2026.
Which vans and RVs fit?
Height is the deciding measurement. Doors in the caravan area are 3,000 mm high, so your van has to be lower than that at its highest point.
- Camper trailers and off-road campers — usually fit with room to spare. See also trailer storage.
- Pop-tops — usually fit with the roof down.
- Hybrid and compact vans — usually fit; measure if you have roof racks or a roof air-conditioner.
- Full-height caravans — many fit, but a roof-mounted air-conditioner, hatch or aerial can push a van close to or over 3.0 m. Measure before you tow over.
- Campervans — van-based campervans often fit; high-roof models need measuring.
- Motorhomes — many purpose-built motorhomes are taller than 3.0 m and will not fit through a 3,000 mm door. Measure first and call us.
Measuring your caravan
- Height: park on level ground and measure from the ground to the highest point: air-conditioner, hatch, solar panel, aerial or roof rack.
- Length: measure from the tip of the hitch to the back of the bumper, spare wheel or bike rack. This is the overall length, and it is longer than the “body length” in most van ads.
- Width: include awning arms and mirrors if they stick out.
Then call (03) 4410 8566. We will match a unit and tell you straight if your van won’t fit.
Caravan unit sizes

These are guides. The lengths leave a little room to reverse in and close the door. A small camper trailer may fit a 6.0m × 3.0m unit ($254); ask us. Every size is on sizes and prices.
Getting your van ready for storage
- Empty the water tanks and the hot water system, and leave taps open briefly to drain the lines.
- Take the gas bottles out. Full gas bottles can’t be stored.
- Empty the fridge, clean it, and prop the door open so it doesn’t go mouldy.
- Remove all food and anything that attracts mice.
- Empty and clean the toilet cassette.
- Look after the battery: disconnect it or take it home on a charger.
- Check the tyres, chock the wheels and take weight off the jockey wheel if you can.
- Close blinds and vents, and use a breathable cover rather than plastic if you have one.
- Tell your insurer where the van is kept.
Units are not climate-controlled, so a dry, clean van stores best.

How much is caravan storage in Echuca?
Tall-door units used for caravans start at $278 per 4 weeks for a 7.5m × 3.0m. Larger vans often take the 8.0m × 3.0m ($320) or 9.0m × 4.0m H ($411). New customers can get the first 4 weeks for $1 (3-month minimum stay, direct debit only, ends 31 Dec 2026).
Will my caravan fit through the door?
Doors in the boat and caravan area are 3,000 mm (3.0 m) high. Measure your van to its highest point, including the air-conditioner and aerial. If it is under 3.0 m, call (03) 4410 8566 to match a unit.
Can I store a motorhome or RV?
Only if it is lower than 3.0 m at its highest point, because doors in the caravan area are 3,000 mm high. Many purpose-built motorhomes are taller. Measure first and call us.
Can I store a camper trailer?
Yes. Camper trailers usually fit a 7.5m × 3.0m unit, and smaller ones may fit a 6.0m × 3.0m. Call (03) 4410 8566 with the overall length.
Can I leave gas bottles in my caravan?
No. Full gas bottles can’t be stored. Take them out before the van goes in.
Is the caravan stored undercover?
Yes. Caravans are stored inside lock-up, drive-up units, not in an open yard.
