Karlite Storage

Boat & RV storage

Park the boat somewhere it isn't in the way.

Open yard lots on Youbou Road in Lake Cowichan, sized for trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes and hulls on their trailers — with room to swing in and back out again.

Storage units lined up beside the main building at the Karlite yard, with gravel wide enough to turn a truck and trailer

How the lots work

A yard lot is a marked gravel space you rent by the month. You bring the boat, the trailer or the motorhome in, park it, and it stays there until you want it. Lots run from 10 × 20 ft for a small utility trailer up to 12 × 40 ft for a large fifth wheel, and anything longer is charged by the foot.

Most people size up rather than down. A 24 ft boat sits on a trailer that measures closer to 28 ft overall once the tongue and the outboard are counted, so measure tongue to tail before you pick a lot.

Out of the weather

If you'd rather the gelcoat and the seals didn't spend a winter under rain, covered storage is $8.50 per foot a month and inside storage is $10.00 per foot a month, both before GST and both priced on overall length. For a 28 ft rig that's $238 covered or $280 inside, per month.

Space under cover and inside is limited, and twelve-month bookings are placed first. Ask what's open.
