Tips to Prepare Your RV for Storage

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

One of the benefits of living an RV lifestyle is to travel to warmer or cooler climates according to your personal preference. Perhaps you like to seek cooler temperatures when the Texas heat is blazing; or maybe you prefer to travel and explore during winter months when there are fewer vacationers on the road. However, there may be times when your schedule dictates that your travel plans be put on hold. When this is the case, where do you store your RV?

Tips to Prepare Your RV for Storage

Parking an RV in a residential neighborhood is a rarity as there likely is inadequate space for RV storage in the garage, side yard, or behind the house. Additionally, parking an RV in a residential area may be banned by city ordinances due to height restrictions, blocking the sidewalk, potential hazards while backing in/out to park, or exceeding the maximum number of parked vehicles per house.

Party Barn Boat and RV storage offers plenty of space, protection, easy access, and peace of mind to protect and store your RV any time of the year. We have 150 storage spots available. You choose whether your needs require uncovered, covered, or enclosed storage. Our storage property is securely gated and accessed only via security code. We are conveniently located near Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard, just a short drive from the Dallas suburbs. We offer flexible rental agreements including monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and yearly to meet your needs.

Before bringing your RV to Party Barn Boat and RV storage, consider these tips when preparing your RV for storage:

  • Clean your RV inside and out to prevent mold and mildew.
  • Ensure all food is removed to avoid attracting unwanted critters.
  • Cover your RV with a breathable cover (or consider enclosed storage to protect from weather and pollen).
  • Cover your tires to reduce UV damage to them.
  • Flush and clean all tanks.
  • Cover the water heater, furnace, and refrigerator vents.
  • Consider adding biocide to the fuel tank to deter algae growth in the fuel.
  • Defrost and dry out the freezer and refrigerator, and place a box of baking soda inside to eliminate odors.

You Catch the Lunker, We’ll Store the Boat

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

If you are a big bass fishermen, the seasons of the year are not Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, but rather pre-spawn, spawn and post spawn, and dates on the calendar are not nearly as important as water temperature. In other words you think about things a tad different than most folks and that is okay. We like hardcore fish brain here at Party Barn Boat & RV Storage. Not everyone is going to land a lunker out of Lake Ray Hubbard or Lake Lavon this year, but you my friend just might with some good old due diligence to go along with your knack and talent.

Like a Good Scout

Be prepared is sound advice for whatever you are doing in life and what better way to be ready to hit the water than to store your boat at Party Barn Boat & RV Storage? Located within 3 miles of both Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard, we have over five acres of storage on a twelve inch crushed asphalt surface. With covered, enclosed, and uncovered storage available we offer exactly what you need so don’t spend valuable fishing time playing the car park shuffle. You know the drill I’m talking about … Get up at o-dark-thirty to move the wife’s car down the street so you can hitch up. Back the truck up while trying not to blast your neighbors bedroom window with your headlights. Pull the boat out ever-so-slow, and leave your truck idling while you park your wife’s car back in the drive. Or worse yet, is when you have to park your boat in that narrow strip between houses and you have no space to back-in, or maneuver around the hull to check things over before you set out in the morning.

We can’t guarantee you a lunker in the pre-spawn or any other time, but we can prove you with a convenient, secure storage facility to get your fishing day started and finished with less parking hassle.

Servicemember? Here’s when to Consider Long-Term Auto Storage

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

Service members who are deploying overseas have lots to consider before shipping out. One of those things involves what to do with a vehicle while they are gone. Leaving your car with a family member is tempting, but there are times when you should consider long-term storage instead.

Servicemember? Here's when to Consider Long-Term Auto Storage

When you Would Rather not Leave it Unsecured

When parking on the street, you run the risk of someone breaking into  your car. That’s especially true if your automobile stays in one spot too long without moving. Others might notice it sitting in one location and decide that it is fair game for stealing.

Some jurisdictions might consider a vehicle abandoned if it sits in one space for several days. This means you might also have to worry about it being towed without your knowledge.

You Have Relatives who Might Help Themselves

When leaving your car with relatives, you run the risk of them using your auto at random. While it’s good to have someone drive your vehicle occasionally, you probably do not want anyone using it on a regular basis. This is especially true if that individual is not a safe operator or fails to perform regular maintenance. The fact that your automobile is in storage eliminates the possibility of loved ones just helping themselves.

You Want it to be Protected from Weather Damage

Maybe you have an expensive vehicle that needs to be protected from the elements. In that case, keeping it in storage is the right answer. Your car will always be protected regardless of the weather, so you will not have to worry about it deteriorating while you are gone.

Auto storage can provide the military with peace of mind at a time when there is already so much to worry about. To secure your long-term parking spot, please contact us.

We know that buying a boat, RV, or travel trailer is a big investment, but many of us don’t have the space or even the option of parking and storing our recreational “toys” at home.

  • Covered spaces- with or without electricity, these spaces range from 12.5’x25′ to 12.5 ‘x60’ and some even include pull-through parking
  • Open spaces-our most affordable option, these 13’x25′ uncovered spots can accommodate a wide array of vehicles
