@Faith Hill  Historically, Self Storage has been recession-resistant class of Commercial Real Estate, however, the barriers to entry into this segment for the average owner/operator have become much higher. This is in large part due to the extraordinary appetite of the large Self Storage operators and REITS who have been rapidly buying-out all of the "mom and pop" self storage facilities nationwide, while simultaneously constructing large yet extremely efficient facilities in most major markets. As @Steve Morris pointed out above, all Self Storage investments should be carefully evaluated to determine if there is an oversupply or if there will be if one of the big guys moves into the area. As for purchasing an existing national-credit Self Storage facility in today's market, returns are simply too skinny to make it worthwhile for the average investor, in my opinion.

On the other hand, with detailed site analysis and selection, RV and boat storage can still provide an excellent return with very little Capital Expenditure to get started (aside from the land itself.)
