Protect Your Investment Between Adventures

Properly preparing your RV, boat, or trailer before storage can help keep it in excellent condition and ensure it’s ready for your next adventure. Whether you’re storing your vehicle for a few weeks or several months, taking a little time to prepare it now can save you time, money, and headaches later.

At High Desert RV & Boat Storage, we’re committed to helping you protect your investment. Here are a few simple tips to help you get the most out of your storage experience.

Clean Your Vehicle Inside and Out

Before placing your RV or boat into storage, thoroughly wash the exterior to remove dirt, bugs, road salt, and debris. Clean the interior as well, removing food, trash, and anything that could attract pests or create unwanted odors.

Disconnect or Maintain Your Batteries

Long periods of inactivity can drain batteries. If your vehicle will be stored for an extended time, consider disconnecting the batteries or using a battery maintainer to help extend their lifespan.

Empty Water Systems

For RV owners, drain fresh water tanks, water heaters, and holding tanks before long-term storage. If you’re storing during colder months, properly winterize your plumbing system to help prevent freezing and costly damage.

Check Tire Pressure

Inflate your tires to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure before storage. Properly inflated tires can help reduce flat spots and keep your vehicle ready for your next trip.

Cover and Protect

If your vehicle is stored outdoors, consider using a high-quality RV or boat cover designed for your specific model. Covers can help protect against sun exposure, dirt, dust, and weather while allowing moisture to escape.

Remove Valuables

Take electronics, important documents, cash, and other valuables home before storing your vehicle. It’s always a good practice to remove anything you wouldn’t want to leave unattended.

Keep Up With Routine Maintenance

Complete any scheduled maintenance before placing your vehicle into storage. Fresh engine oil, topped-off fluids, and properly serviced components can help keep everything in great condition while your vehicle is parked.

Inspect Before Every Trip

Before heading out on your next adventure, take a few minutes to inspect your RV or boat. Check tire pressure, battery condition, lights, fluid levels, brakes, and safety equipment to ensure everything is ready for the road or water.
