Is California’s push to phase out diesel Recreational Vehicles yet another control tactic masquerading as climate policy? Conveniently, as with so many other policies, it's both.

Nov 26, 2024

End-of-year ‘blowouts’, Black Friday sales, ‘last year’s models,’ and all manner of rebates and promotions exist to lure prospective road warriors into the showrooms of RV dealers. However, if you've been considering a new diesel motorhome as a hedge against society’s imminent collapse, you might be in for an unwelcome surprise — particularly if you live in California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Massachusetts, or Maryland.

New regulations, set to take effect in 2025, will effectively bar the sales of new diesel motorhomes as part of the push to phase out gas and diesel engines in favor of electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles.

As Citizen Watch Report recently noted:

California’s Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulations require manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty vehicles, including RVs, to achieve 35% sales of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). The problem? A ZEV-compatible RV chassis doesn’t yet exist. This rule forces dealerships to comply or risk losing the ability to sell motorhomes entirely.

Steddie fic where Steve and Eddie are in their mid 30's and everyone has sort of drifted apart

Taglist: @adaed5 @grtwdsmwhr @swimmingbirdrunningrock @mightbeasleep

================================================

Crisis averted, the food was doing great, Steve had checked the safety of the hoop by hanging off it, probably more times than he needed to, but he just wanted to make sure. Steve dribbles the ball around the perimeter of the practice area. Lengthwise, it was just shy of half a court. Jenny had deemed a full court too excessive for their needs at the point they got it installed, and though they had the space out here, she'd been right. The kids only used it for shooting practice and a little one-on-one, never a full game. On his second go-round, he picks up speed and, once complete, turns onto the 3-point line and takes a few shots. A few suck and a few make it. He wasn't at his best anymore, but he could remember enough drills from practice to help Morgan. If he needed any help, that is. The kid could be a natural.

Beans barks, pauses and barks again, letting Steve know there are what she deems strangers approaching the house. He secretly smiles happily before reaching to open the door. About to take the first step into something he thought would never happen again. He wasn't alone in inviting someone else to see his sanctum. Eddie had parked his right outside. Though this would be the first time Eddie would see a genuinely Steve home, not a showroom, not a reflection of his parents, not someone he thinks he should be. That was exciting and worrying at the same time. What if he didn't like who Steve was? What if he was too much compared to before, when he was barely anything? He switches his focus inward to outward and marvels at the motorhome through the now-open door. Beans sits eagerly at his heel, looking up at him, waiting for permission to sniff the very essence from these non-Harringtons. It looked like a reasonably new model, a Hurricane, it said on the side, which someone and Steve could likely guess who had written "Rock you like a" above it. Steve can't repress the smile that breaks when he reads it. Eddie liked to do that where he could, use something else to break the ice for him.

Something louder than himself always hits you before Eddie does, and if you're lucky and patient, he will peel back all the other layers for you. It wasn't a facade for Eddie, though. It was just a crutch. Blast you with his loudness before he'd ever show you his quieter, softer side. He’s prodding and testing you to deem you worthy and safe. Steve wonders if he'll get there again this time or if that version of Eddie is long gone. Steve sighs and decides to focus on something much easier to stumble through the analysis of. The RV looked roomy, and the glimpse of the seat as Eddie jumped down from it seemed comfortable, but more than anything, it screamed something that eluded Steve. Freedom. He wasn't so much tied down by his family, work, bills, or ties as other people. On paper, Steve could get his own and do just that, tour the country, but he also couldn't. Even thinking about it set his stomach into an uncomfortable churn. Home. That's where he belongs.

Eddie pushes his aviators into his hair and splays his arms at the motorhome. "My moving castle!" he says enthusiastically with a huge beaming grin, which Steve mirrors like a reflex, "Glad you've got a big driveway, Harrington. She's a whole lotta woman," he says, patting the vehicle. Morgan emerges in a complete basketball kit similar to Corey's, and Eddie falls in next to him, walking towards Steve. It's clear from his outfit Eddie has no intention of playing any kind of sport today unless that sport, of course, would be trying to wedge anything into one of his pockets. Those jeans were an unholy level of tightness from the hips to the knee, and then just casually flared out a little at the bottom like the rest of them wasn't causing an all-out riot in Steve's mind. He was ever grateful for Eddie's slashed arm t-shirt, the lower hem of which swayed at his hip as he moved, revealing that these jeans were so low-slung they were never meant to grace a waist. Any more snug of a fit top might have rendered Steve useless. He tries not to think about the scars underneath it.

"Hey, guys!" Steve smiles and waves, "Just stay right there, please. Sorry about this. We have a process" he nods towards the very serious-looking mass of fur next to him. Now Morgan looks incredibly nervous, but Eddie rolls his eyes with a smile. "Everything ok, Morgan? Are you scared of dogs? You can say, don't worry about that. She's a good girl. If asked, she'll keep her distance”.

"Oh, er, it's not that, er, Sir, it's um…." Morgan struggles over his words.

Eddie shakes his head, "Look, I'm eager actually to get in the house, so allow me. Morgan here is worried about the dog not liking him."

Morgan sighs and explains in a forlorn tone, "They just don't like me sometimes. Maybe because my mom has a bunch of cats or something, I guess, or maybe it's my washing powder, I don't know." Though he has been trying to hold it in, Eddie lets a laugh spill out, and Morgan frowns deeply at him. "It's not funny, man. People think you're evil if their dog doesn't like you," Morgan whines.

Steve tries to hide his own laughter at how adorable this kid is but empathises with him that Eddie is openly teasing him, "You know Eddie, Morgan's right. Dogs can tell if you fit or not, and their opinion affects the whole house."

Eddie stops chuckling, and for a moment, a glimmer of worry appears on his face, but it quickly falls into a narrowing of his eyes and a half smile, indicating he is onto Steve's game.

"Beans, Check," Steve says to Beans, who approaches Morgan first because he's nearest. She circles him a few times, sniffling him all over. Then she moves to Eddie and does the same. Finally, she sits beside Morgan and looks up at him, and he returns the glance down. Beans pads her feet several times on the driveway, her tongue falls out the side of her mouth, and her tail beats hard against the ground. "Well, Beans has selected her favourite. Come on in." Steve chirps.

Morgan gives Steve and Beans a big smile, which she immediately takes as an invite and jumps up, so her paws are on his shoulders. Morgan instinctively puts his arms out to ensure she doesn't fall back and gets a lick up the side of his face for his effort before she drops back to the floor and walks back into the house. 

"Oh no, absolutely not!" Eddie exclaims with his hands on his hips, "Get her to check again!"  Morgan shakes his head at him, and now he mirrors back the smugness Eddie had exhibited moments ago. The tilt of his head that makes his shoulder-length dirty blonde hair fall to the side as he smirks over at Eddie is a stance so very reminiscent of the man he's aiming it at.

"D'awww, You want Beans to tell you you're not the favourite twice?" This is the first time Steve has seen Morgan exhibit this kind of playful confidence around Eddie, and it makes him think of his kids and how they sass him often, but he loves it because that means he's done a good job. His kids are comfortable around him, and it seems Eddie had cultured the same environment for Morgan. Steve's heart beats a little harder, transferring all his fondest memories with his kids to Eddie and Morgan. He wishes he could have seen that. They must have been excellent parents to raise a good kid like him. Steve steps out and puts a friendly hand on Morgan's shoulder.

"She's never been wrong so far, Eddie, sorry", Steve smiles a little smugly at the exasperated metalhead, "Come on in," Steve says, waving them into the house. Morgan heads in first and looks around before finding a spot on the couch, where he is immediately joined by Beans sitting next to him. As Eddie walks past, he pokes his head around the door, checks where Morgan is, and then takes a step back to pause in front of Steve. His bottom lip pushes out a little in thought as he looks Steve up and down.

"Well, maybe she's not the big dog I'm after the favour of today," He says quietly, but that rasp in his voice is still very present, and Steve bites his lips together like he's afraid of what might fall out of his mouth. At first, he thought it might be words, but when Eddie reaches out to play with the lower hem of Steve's shirt, he thinks it might have actually been his tongue, "Little more overdressed for basketball than I remember, Steve" a smirk appears on Eddie's face before he looks back up to Steve's eyes, with that insane level of confidence. It's your turf, Steve. His brain helpfully reminds himself as he huffs out a laugh, which also helps release the breath he'd been holding.

"You know, I was only thinking about some of our old sports gear earlier, and I'm honestly deeply concerned." Eddie laughs at Steve's revelation causing his eyes to twinkle, and if he wasn't on the flat of the front doorstep, Steve might have lost his balance and dove headfirst into them. Instead, a surge of courage runs through Steve, and he gives Eddie the same once-over treatment. "At least one of us had to move into a looser fitting wardrobe," Steve says gently, smiling, and for a second, he thinks he has Eddie on the ropes, his surprised expression and blinking big eyes, until, of course, that confident smile spreads across his face. He sways into Steve's space a little more. God, they were so close now. Steve gulps down his nervousness.

"Oh, you noticed?" Eddie's hand clasps onto his belt buckle, and shamefully, Steve's eyes follow, "I was beginning to think skipping breakfast to squeeze into them hadn't even been worth it" he tilts his head at Steve, whose eyes are back where they should be—entirely lost in Eddie's. The silence between them makes Steve's pulse boom in his ears, accelerating, urging him to mirror this space invasion.

"Oh my god, gross!" Corey complains. Eddie's head swivels towards him, and Steve's body relaxes.

"Corey, Eddie. Eddie, Corey. You've met before, not that you'd probably recall, being absorbed in your Gameboy at the time," Steve says, pretending to be slightly annoyed.

Eddie salutes Corey, "Cyborg", he dubs him with a smile as he steps inside, throwing a wink over his shoulder at Steve as he does.

Then Steve finally steps inside, "Corey, Morgan. Morgan, Corey" At the sound of his name Morgan and Beans turn towards Steve at the same time, and Steve has to hold back his laughter again because they both have the same vacant expression on their faces.

Morgan gets out of his seat to shake Corey's hand, but Corey takes a step back to look up at him and smiles hugely. "You're good, man. How tall are you exactly?”

“Uh, 5’9” last I checked”, Morgan answers.

“Awesome. Wanna go warm up?” Corey asks with a mischievous grin on his face.

Morgan is about to agree when Steve stops him, "Remember what I told you, Cor! Play nice!" It earns him an eye roll from his son, who waves Morgan towards the outside, "Morgan, don't let him push you around. Let me know if he starts getting feisty out there."

"Come on, man. Let's go already!" Corey complains with his hands on his hips at the sliding glass doors to the backyard, and Morgan follows him out.

Steve turns to Eddie, "He'll be ok. Corey is currently having a tough time with his height. I keep telling him he's got tons of time to grow, but for now, he just has a vendetta slash obsession with kids taller than him."

"Stretch will be fine. He's kinda used to it" then Eddie gets distracted by his surroundings, "So this is the Harrington abode, huh?"

"Not what you were expecting?" Steve says, motioning into the kitchen, "Coffee?" He offers pleasantly as if the unknown of Eddie's thoughts wasn't coiling up his insides into an impossible knot.

"Please!" Eddie enthuses at the offer of something caffeinated, "Yeah, you could say it wasn't what I was expecting", his voice getting louder and quieter, meaning he's turning around in the living room, investigating the bookshelves and such. Steve pours the coffee into two identical mugs and delivers one to Eddie.

"What did you expect?" Steve asks curiously, offering a mug to him, who accepts with a nod of thanks before taking another look around.

"I guess, I dunno, something about you is different from when we were younger, and I figured maybe you weren't so loaded any more. It was a dumb thought and also," he holds a hand up to his surroundings, "wildly incorrect," he smiles, "I'm glad I was wrong though" he sips his coffee and makes a noise of approval.

Steve looks confused, "You're glad I'm not poor. Is that what you're saying?"

Eddie thinks for a second, "I'm glad you didn't have to struggle through life, that's all" he gives Steve that soft blink and smile of fondness that translates his words only to have the best intentions. This gentler side of Eddie thrilled Steve as much as his intensity at the door. Sure, flirtation had its merits but combined with being cared about and loved, now that was something he yearned for so deeply. This is what made Eddie so very dangerous, he could do both, but he could also leave, like the last time. He was both mallet and velvet padded case to Steve's heart of glass.

"I'm glad you're doing so well for yourself too. Please don't take this the wrong way. I always knew you had tons of talent and ambition, but your national business and Morgan, for starters…I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years for you. I feel like there is so much I don't know about you again," Steve says with a smile, finally revealing a deep truth in a shallow way.

"Ever the enigma, huh?" Eddie chuckles, "What did you think I'd be doing?" His big brown eyes focus on Steve from the mug's rim as he lifts it to take a drink.

"Going on the last bits of information I had on you, I was surprised not to have seen you on a magazine cover or a late-night talk show. You always seemed destined for something else, something so much beyond the everyday grind, you know. I couldn't see anything less for you." Steve answers, looking out of the backyard window, lost in his thoughts a little. It's true that until the library, the last time he'd seen Eddie was in those engagement pictures, and he looked every bit a rockstar, as did his fiancé. Then Steve got so absorbed in his attempts to forget Eddie and his own life that he stopped asking their mutual friends about him. It was painful then, and he was pursuing something else with Jenny, something he could succeed at, not chasing after a guy who had just gotten up one morning and left him. Left him was a bit dramatic. They were never together, not like an item, not really, never even kissed. It might have been close a few times, but Hawkins, Indiana, in the eighties might not have been the ideal place to feel safe exploring those things. It wasn't entirely clear to Steve if Eddie had felt the same, had been high, vulnerable, or just confused when they were younger. He seemed to have no confusion right now.

Eddie was definitely flirting with him, but Steve needed to figure out what his end game was and who he was dealing with these days. Was Eddie simply out to tick a box? Was he even monogamous? That was a new question to ask on the modern dating scene, as Steve had found out. Shit, Steve didn't even actually know if he was single. Their limited interactions at the library still showed he had that sweetness about him, especially for others, but fifteen years can do a lot to a person. When you still looked the way Eddie did in your mid-thirties and had his confidence, maybe sweetness wasn't required in what he wanted to achieve relationship-wise, especially when you moved around so much. 

Steve thinks back on the last few years of attempts at dating, and honestly, if Robin had popped up one day with her old scoops ahoy whiteboard, the tally from 1985 wouldn't have been way off the mark. Sometimes the online profiles and the people you'd meet up with were wildly different, not just in looks but in their whole personalities. Steve had met a few people at evening hobby classes, and it was either they were more into him than he was into them, or vice versa, and lastly, the one-night stands, too many to mention honestly. Often Steve had gone home with them either out of pity because he wasn't going to ask them out again or because the other person had wanted the same thing he had in that desperate moment. Steve just couldn't seem to get it right. He couldn't help but wonder what shape of failing this whole Eddie thing might result in.

A single sharp bark brings Steve back into the room.

"Uh, sorry about that", he immediately apologises to Eddie, who doesn't look the slightest bit phased this time when he turns to face him. He's just drinking his coffee, looking at Steve with endearment, and this time Steve tells him, "I just, er, zone out sometimes, but it's not dangerous or anything. It's just when im-" he covers quickly to reassure Eddie he wasn't a hazard to anyone.

"When you're thinking about things? You get tangled in them, huh?" He asks so gently that it makes Steve look away to the floor bashfully.

"Yeah, something like that," he says, still looking at the floor, pushing his hair behind his ear. Then, finally, he takes a breath and tries to get back to normal mode, "We should get out there. I'm sure they're fine, but I said I'd help, so…" he trails off but just his words this time, his brain only really has one thing on its mind right now, and he feels like it's going to burst out of him, and it does, "You know I'm really looking forward to us spending some non-kid time together. I feel like I know you, but I also don't. Does that make sense? Sorry, I said that already, right?" He laughs a little at the rushed jumble of words that just left his mouth as he searches Eddie's face for understanding, whose smile just broadens, and he nods.

"Me too. I've been trying to think of someplace to go, but I don't know what you like these days. I was gonna just ask, but I thought that was kinda lame. You know, not surprising you with somewhere? Then I thought about what day would be best and…” Eddie huffs out a laugh and shakes his head, and it’d like he switches modes. “So, what day do the kids go to their Mom's house?" Eddie says with one of those small steps forward into his space again. He was such a duality. His words, to begin with, had been a little on the unsure, vulnerable side. His cute worries about Steve thinking his approach was lame, like a teenager. But then switching to all the eagerness of an adult who was very aware that time waits for no man, and when was the first opportunity they could be alone together. Steve tilts his head curiously at Eddie for a moment. Eddie's words repeat through Steve's thoughts again. Was this a date? Or at least not just a typical platonic hangout that Eddie had in mind? It felt that way, but Steve isn't sure about it, so he doesn't ask.

Steve clears his throat, "Ah, well, they go back Sunday, but I won't be back until late because I normally have dinner with Jenny, Val and the kids" Steve recognises the computing look on Eddie's face, "Jenny being my ex-wife, Val being her boyfriend, but honestly he's basically her husband." Eddie gives him a sympathetic smile, and Steve tries to fix it, "It's alright, you know, he's good at it…being a husband to Jenny. It's good. Honestly, the kids get on well with him. I'm really lucky." Steve sprinkles on the pep in his voice to assure Eddie that none of this made Steve resentful or upset. Steve taps his cup a few times and sets it down "You know, I don't think my likes have changed all that much.” he says giving Eddie a brief smile before clearing his throat again. “Shall we?" He waves his hand in front of him for Eddie to exit out back first and falls into step next to him, guiding him over the little grassy hill to the practice area.

Minimalism: The camper way.

A big decision. A change of life.

Recently, we visited NYC and spent the weekend attending a wedding and exploring Manhatten, Chinatown, and the Brooklyn bridge. We took a ferry to Staten Island and saw the first lady, the Statue of Liberty. We lived a minimalist life, with our suitcases and an empty, rented room (aside from a bed). We lived a life that I can only call calm and peaceful despite the cacophony of the city streets.

And we came to a decision.

For the last three years, we have been renting a house, paying off someone else's mortgage. Rent is expensive enough that we haven't been able to save enough for our own house, or land, or both. As we sat in our single, barren bedroom in NYC, we had a discussion. How? How could I be happier here in the noisiest city I'd ever stayed, in a room that didn't even have decor in the walls? Why was I so depressed in a house back home that we had built our lives around? It was a question we didn't have an answer to, at least not in the moment.

But we could a decision. We need a way to save money, to get out of the cycle we have been in as renters. And so...

We bought an RV. The day after we got back from NYC, we went to our bank for pre-approval for a loan. We were approved. That afternoon we went to an RV showroom. We found a lovely 2018 First River Wildwood that was used, but in great condition and an even better deal. We "closed" on it and now consider it our first home. A home we got on our own, without help from others (including my parents). We felt peace and hope. We still feel peace and hope.

So finally, we have achieved the minimalist way. We can only fit so much in an RV. We get to clear out our house and decrease the junk we own. We are now mobile, and it is a feeling I greatly enjoy thinking about in the morning and afternoon and evening as I plan how we are going to move during the next 3 weeks.

It was a great choice. Saving $700 a month? Awesome. Welcome to the camper life, Ace Verae!

Why Prefabricated Metal Steel Buildings are Cost-Effective Solutions for Businesses?

Today's business is competitive. Savvy entrepreneurs look for cheap solutions. They want solutions that are both durable and functional. This search often leads them to explore options. Options like RV metal carport covers, best metal carports, and prefabricated steel buildings. Let's delve into why these structures have become go-to choices for businesses. They use them to optimize their investments.

The Rise of Prefabricated Metal Steel Buildings

Prefab steel buildings have become prevalent in recent years, and for good reason. Engineers design these structures to be very strong, durable, and versatile. They are ideal for many uses in many industries. You might need more storage space, shelter for vehicles like RVs, or a workspace that can withstand harsh conditions. Prefab metal buildings offer a cheap solution without skimping on quality.

Durability and Longevity

Prefab metal buildings have a key advantage: their unmatched durability. Traditional construction methods rely on materials like wood. In contrast, steel buildings are resistant to rot, pests, and decay, while wood is susceptible to these problems. This resilience leads to long-term cost savings. Businesses can avoid expensive repairs and maintenance for less durable structures.

Customizable Solutions

Another effective element of prefabricated metal steel buildings is their customizable character. Whether you require a simple carport or a complex industrial structure, you can tailor these buildings to fit your requirements. This flexibility lets companies use space well and assures every square foot fits a goal.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

Today's world is conscious. Energy efficiency and sustainability are top preferences for many companies. Pre-made metal buildings excel in these areas. They can possess insulation, energy-efficient windows, and other elements. Businesses can save on costs by using less energy, causing less damage, and showing dedication to sustainable practices.

Cost-Effective Construction

Prefabricated metal steel structures have cost advantages over traditional methods of construction. The prefabrication process involves making components off-site. This reduces labor costs and construction time. Streamlining this approach. It saves businesses money. It lets them divide resources more.

Versatility Across Industries

Prefabricated metal buildings are versatile. They suit a wide range of industries. You can adapt them to meet various business requirements. They're used in agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and warehousing. You might need storage for farm equipment. Or, you might need a showroom for retail goods. Prefab metal buildings offer a scalable and cheap option.

Enhanced Security and Protection

Security is vital for businesses. This is especially true for protecting valuable assets like vehicles, equipment, and inventory. Prefab metal buildings have better security. They have strong locks, reinforced doors, and optional security systems. This layer of protection safeguards assets and brings peace of mind to business owners.

Low Maintenance Requirements

Keeping a commercial property can be a considerable expenditure for companies. Prefabricated metal steel buildings, however, require less supervision than conventional structures. Steel is durable and needs few repairs, which saves businesses time and money.

Adaptable Expansion Options

As businesses grow and change, they often need more space. Steel manufacturers design pre-built steel buildings with expansion in mind. They allow for the seamless addition of new sections or changes. This scalability ensures that businesses can adapt to market demands. They can do so without the hassle and cost of building new buildings.

The Bottom Line

In conclusion, people like steel metal buildings. They are cheap, strong, versatile, and sustainable. You may need RV metal carport covers or top-rated metal carports. Or, you may need a custom steel building for your business. These structures offer a great mix of function and value. Businesses can make smart investments by choosing prefabricated metal buildings. These buildings yield long-term cost savings, efficiency, and durability.

Kia India: Doubling Down On SUVs & Embracing EVs

Kia India, the Korean automaker that stormed onto the Indian scene with its stylish and feature-packed SUVs, is in no mood to slow down. In a recent interview, Managing Director & CEO Tae-Jin Park laid out Kia’s ambitious plans for the next three to four years, and SUVs are firmly at the center of the action.

While acknowledging the growing EV market, Park doesn’t see immediate dethronement of ICE vehicles. Kia, however, is embracing the EV wave and expects it to contribute 20% of their sales by 2030. They’re laying the groundwork with the EV6’s success and plan to bring in the flagship EV9 seven-seater e-SUV and, interestingly, an EV version of their locally made RV alongside the ICE version in 2025. This bold move shows Kia’s commitment to both catering to existing demand and creating new EV segments.

Kia understands that EV adoption hinges on charging infrastructure. They’re actively contributing to building this ecosystem, recognizing it as crucial for India’s EV transition. This proactive approach positions them as a leader in shaping the future of mobility in the country.

Park believes that ICE and EV vehicles will coexist for a decade or more. This pragmatic view showcases Kia’s commitment to catering to diverse customer preferences while strategically expanding their EV portfolio. This strategy ensures they stay relevant in both established and emerging markets.

Conclusion:

Kia India’s vision is clear – SUVs as the growth engine, embracing EVs without neglecting ICE, and actively building the infrastructure for a smooth transition. With their ambitious plans, strategic launches, and focus on customer needs, Kia is poised to remain a force to be reckoned with in the Indian automobile market. The road ahead is paved with innovation and excitement, and Kia seems ready to lead the charge.

Discover the latest Kia models, unbeatable prices, and exceptional service at our showroom. Your journey to Kia greatness starts here.

The Future of Storage: Climate Controlled Facilities Transforming San Antonio’s Self Storage Industry

Self storage has come a long way from nondescript warehouses filled with dusty boxes and unwanted furniture. Today’s facilities now cater to virtually every storage need imaginable, with specialized options for RVs, cars, wine, art, documents, and even ecommerce inventory. However, one of the most significant modern upgrades revolutionizing convenience and protection for all stored belongings is climate controlled units.

By actively monitoring and regulating temperature and humidity levels, climate controlled storage providesIdeal conditions to prevent moisture damage, corrosion, warping wood furniture, fading artwork, and other issues triggered by extreme heat, cold, or humidity fluctuations. As Texans know all too well, San Antonio’s sweltering summers and varying weather patterns can really take a toll over time.

Understanding the benefits of climate control has fueled rapid industry growth in San Antonio specifically. Over the past decade, over 75% of all new storage developments have focused on climate-regulated facilities compared to less than 45% nationwide. Let’s explore the key perks attracting so many South Texas customers to conditioned storage and what cutting-edge facility features they can expect from today’s premier operators.

Shielding Vulnerable Items from Elemental Damage

From heirloom paintings to custom guitars, some belongings require stricter environmental controls for preservation than a basic garage or attic can provide in San Antonio’s climate. Fluctuating moisture and humidity levels warp wood, encourage mold growth on fabrics, corrode metals, and weaken adhesives over time. Meanwhile, direct sunlight and intense heat fade colors, dry out leather and parchment, or melt wax-based items.

By maintaining 24/7 temperature regulation between 55-80°F and 40-60% humidity, climate controlled units protect all varieties of sensitive goods not cut out for south Texas’s sweltering summers and erratic weather patterns.

Maintaining Consistent Inventory Conditions

Climate control also offers major advantages for small businesses storing inventory, archives, equipment, and electronics onsite vs. occupying additional expensive retail or office space full-time. Beverage distributors for example can warehouse surplus stock without risk of heat exposure degrading flavors. Test electronics firms rely on conditioned spaces to conduct quality control checks without components overheating unpredictably.

Stringent climate regulations ensure goods remain in ideal saleable condition until transferred to active showroom floors or shipped to customers. Some facilities even offer specialized humidity controls to accommodate specialty items like cigars, fine wines, photographic film or delicate optics requiring exacting environments.

Warding Off Pests & Preventing Allergens

In addition to elemental damage, wild temperature swings between hot summer days and frigid winter nights increase pest and vermin activity trying to invade storage spaces containing edibles or fibrous materials in their search for food and nesting habitats. Climate controlling storage facilities helps deter infestations of rodents, insects like moths and silverfish, and other contaminating critters.

Enhanced air filtration incorporated by higher-end storage operators also reduces dust and allergens circulating inside that aggravate respiratory issues over time. This allows longer, hassle-free storage of off-season bedding, upholstery, and clothing without returning to irritating layers of dust or musty mildew smells come next use.

Key Climate Control Features to Seek Out

Not all “climate controlled” labels automatically equal premiere preservation capabilities however. When researching storage facilities in the San Antonio area, look for these key indicators of reliable, state-of-the-art conditioned spaces:

● Multiple standalone AC units evenly spaced not overtaxed by large storage areas

● Advanced humidistat monitoring and dehumidification technology

● Circulation fans to prevent temperature stratification between floors

● Insulated metal panel unit construction rather than wood or drywall

● Redundant HVAC systems, generators or battery backups during power failures

● Real-time remote temperature alerts and historical data reports

The most sophisticated, customer-focused operators integrate smartphone apps connecting clients directly to their unit’s microclimate data for added visibility and control. If fluctuations occur outside preset ranges, alerts provide immediate awareness to arrange transfers before irreparable damage develops.

The Future Looks Bright for Innovative Climate Control

By essentially future-proofing stored goods against San Antonio’s sizzling and sometimes unpredictable weather patterns, conditioned storage spaces clearly offer major advantages over traditional non-climate facilities both for residential and commercial customers alike.

Look for the sector’s top design and functionality upgrades to continue advancing in parallel with green energy incentives as well. From solar power arrays and stormwater capture systems to cellulose insulation and electric vehicle charging stations, sustainability permeates every aspect of storage facility planning today. Leverage these exciting industry innovations to protect your most valuable or sensitive possessions well into the future through the convenience of indoor climate controlled self storage units.
