STORAGE TIPS
Helpful Outdoor RV and Boat Storage Tips
Storing a boat, RV, camper, or trailer outdoors is a convenient way to free up valuable space at home while keeping your vehicle ready for its next adventure. At Tradewinds Boat & RV Storage, we make outdoor storage simple. Use these helpful tips to keep your recreational vehicle organized, protected, and ready to go.
1. Prepare Your RV or Boat Before Storage
Before storing your RV or boat, clean it thoroughly and remove food, personal belongings, and anything that could attract pests or cause odors. Check tires, fluid levels, batteries, and other key components, and follow the manufacturer’s recommended steps for preparing your RV or boat for storage.
2. Protect Your Boat or RV
Outdoor storage means your vehicle is exposed to changing weather conditions. Consider using a quality, properly fitted cover designed specifically for your boat, RV, or camper. Make sure the cover is secure and allows appropriate ventilation to help prevent moisture buildup.
3. Check Tires and Mechanical Components
Extended parking can affect tires and mechanical components. Check tire pressure before storing your vehicle and periodically inspect the tires for signs of wear or damage. If your RV will remain parked for an extended period, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for long-term storage.
4. Keep Your Vehicle Ready for the Road
When you're ready to use your vehicle, perform a quick inspection before leaving the facility. Check the tires, lights, fluid levels, battery, and any safety equipment. For boats, inspect the trailer and hitch before heading toward your next destination.
5. Keep Important Items Organized
Avoid leaving valuables, documents, food, or unnecessary personal belongings inside your stored RV or boat. Keep important keys, registration documents, maintenance records, and other essential items in a secure location at home.
6. Choose Convenient Outdoor Storage
A dedicated storage space gives you a convenient place to keep your boat, RV, camper, or trailer when you don't have enough room at home. Tradewinds Boat & RV Storage provides outdoor parking in Wilmington with 24/7 access, helping you keep your recreational vehicle accessible when you need it.
