McBride family RV history

Built from decades of hands-on RV experience

From RV service and repair to purpose-built storage, the McBride family history shaped a facility designed for people who actually use their RVs.

RV experience across generations

A family business shaped by how people actually use RVs

The McBride family's RV business history began in 1967, when Walt McBride started the business. Over time, the family's work included RV service and repair as well as storage.

Charlie McBride and Andy McBride worked in the RV repair facility from the 1980s through 2004. Ben McBride took over the RV repair facility in 2004, and the business expanded into RV storage in 2005.

The design philosophy

Storage should make RV ownership easier

McBride's is positioned as more than a place to leave a recreational vehicle. The website's central message is that storage should help customers travel more, worry less and receive more practical value from RV ownership.

1

Use the RV more

24-hour access, wide drive aisles and on-site preparation services are intended to reduce friction before and after travel.

2

Feel more secure

Controlled access, lighting, cameras, patrol activity and on-site management are described as separate security layers.

3

Get more value

The facility asks customers to compare total convenience, maneuverability and included amenities rather than monthly rent alone.

Built around active ownership

Not just storage. Support for the RV lifestyle.

The facility's amenities include a professional wash bay, dump station, potable water, complimentary clean ice, high-pressure air and a high-suction vacuum. The purpose of those services is to help customers complete more of the travel routine where the RV is already stored.

Practical knowledge in the layout

Vehicle movement matters

Years around large recreational vehicles informed the site's emphasis on drive-aisle width, parking geometry and the approach to the actual storage space.

McBride's website materials highlight approximately 35-foot drive aisles in areas used to explain maneuverability. The site also encourages customers to evaluate parking angle, neighboring vehicles, pull-through capability and end-of-aisle locations.

Why wide drive aisles matter
