Some day getting this removed 'could' pose a problem. Would it be
an advantage for me to charge a separate rent for the storage of
those items and 'perhaps' avoid the complications of CA tenant law?
QUESTION:I'm the property owner with a tenant who has a boat and small camper
next to the house he is renting.

Those laws do differ I believe?
ANSWER: I'm not in that field, so this just an uninformed opinion and cannot be
taken as legal advice. Seems like a good idea to me. I don't know of any
reason it couldn't be done. You would want to make sure the lease or rental
agreements are separate, and in writing, so that no renters of the house can
claim they expected to be renting the storage space also. There might be a
problem renting the house if the yard is not included because it has been
rented to someone else for storage. People shopping for a place to live
might want the yard for the kids or the dog or the boat, and might look
elsewhere if they don't get the yard. Hmmm, here's another problem. If you
rent the yard only to the people who rent the house, and the term of the
yard lease ends when the house lease ends, you might not be able to get the
yard back without going through the eviction process regarding the house.
Carefull drafting by an attorney could handle that problem.
