When the winter season is over, and you know it's the time for the great cruising or trip adventures in the spring and summer, no one should blame you for the excitement. However, there are a few steps that you should take to de-winterize your RV or boat and make sure your first cruise will not give you problems, create more costly repairs, or reduce its lifespan.

Self-storage is the magic key we all need in our lives. It gives space a new meaning, turning every inch into valuable real estate. Even the smallest unit can house a myriad of items, freeing up precious room in your home or office. But here's the thing we often overlook: it's not just about storage; it's about better living. With a clearer space comes a clearer mind and even the sense to enjoy some freedom from clutter. Now, doesn't that sound like something we all need? And the safety? Well, let's open that door next.

Bob Lloyd, a local Jackson, MS real estate appraiser, had the idea of opening his own storage unit company in 1994. There was a large gap between people's storage needs and the number of available storage units at the time. Homeowners often wondered, \"Where will I fit the rest of my belongings?\" After conducting market research and gathering local community input, Bob turned his vision into reality, and StorageMax has genuinely revolutionized the self-storage industry. We have set ourselves apart by providing clean, locally-managed, and well-maintained facilities while prioritizing security and accessibility. Our commitment to innovation is evident in offering climate-controlled units to preserve temperature-sensitive items and features such as smartphone access to units and on-site RV and boat parking. But what truly sets us apart is our unique selling points, such as complimentary move-in truck rental and packing supplies, which make the entire storage process seamless and convenient for our customers.
