RV Storage Tips For Keeping Your Vehicle Safe And Secure

When it comes to RV storage, you’ll likely be placing a great deal of trust in your RV storage company. However, there’s also many things you can do yourself to make your RV safer while it’s on the company’s lot - and these things are going to be the subject of this guide. With this in mind, let’s take a look at the advice we have for you.

First of all, it’s important to be aware of rodents in the area. If your RV has been off the road for awhile, it’s not uncommon for rodents to take an interest - and in the worst case scenario - you may find that mice, rats, or even squirrels have taken to living in your RV.

Of course, this can result in damage, such as chewed electrical wires, food, droppings, and more. Fortunately, a quality storage facility will keep these critters away - but if you’re leaving your RV outside in the winter, there’s always the risk of one of these ‘invasions’.

Next, it’s important to protect the exterior of your RV as much as possible - especially if it’s going to be left under exposed sunlight. The UV rays will make light work of your paint job, and you’ll eventually return to an RV that looks worse than when you left it.

With this in mind, it’s wise to tarp the RV before you leave, and do your best to keep it away from any harsh changes of temperature. Many of the best RV storage facilities will even place your RV within a climate control zone, which keeps your RV save from all weather influence.

You’ll also need to think about keeping the interior clean and tidy. In particular, refrigerators can develop mold while the RV is in storage, and they’all also begin to smell. In general, it’s wise to give this area a thorough clean before leaving the vehicle in storage.
