The majority of people who purchased an RV have done so because they want to have some memorable experiences traveling from state to state. However, when many people think about an RV, they fail to think about RV storage. RV storage is a reality that RV owners will eventually have to face. Soon enough they will have to figure out a way to keep their RV secure. Since storing an RV is not as easy as storing your car, truck, or motorcycle, storing the RV in your driveway is not always an option.

Thankfully, there are RV storage facilities that have been designed as viable option and great alternative. If you live in an area that prohibits you from storing your RV in your driveway, your best option will be to use an RV storage facility. If you store your RV at home and it goes against the agreement, you could be given one or more violations by your Homeowner’s Association. Also, do you really want your RV parked in your driveway for an extended period of time?

When you use an RV storage facility, you will not have to worry about taking up a significant amount of space in your yard or driveway. Instead of using that space for your RV, there are certainly other things you may find to occupy that space. You can free up a significant amount of space in your driveway by utilizing a storage facility that has been designed to store RVs, campers, boats, etc.

Storing your RV at a storage facility can also increase the lifespan of your RV. When you store your RV in your driveway, this opens the door for potential damage and potential theft. An RV storage facility will protect your RV from known and unknown dangers. An RV storage facility that offers covered protection will give you the peace of mind you need that your RV will be 100 percent ready to roll for your next adventure.

If you have a car you don’t need to drive every day, keeping it in a storage facility is a great way to keep it safe and secure. Properly preparing your car for storage is essential. Here’s how to get your car ready for long-term storage.

Wash and Wax Your Car

Your car’s paint job can be damaged by bird droppings or other stains. Before storing your car, take it to the car wash. Clean the wheels and the fenders, too. Apply a coat of wax to give your paint job an extra layer of protection.

Change Your Oil

If you’re storing your car for more than 30 days, get the oil changed before taking it to storage. You should also lubricate your car’s moving parts, such as the door hinges.

Fill the Tank

Fill your gas tank if you expect to store your car for 30 days or more. Topping off the tank will keep moisture from building up in the gas tank. Add fuel stabilizer to protect your engine and prevent ethanol buildup.

Disconnect the Battery

When your car is not driven for a while, the battery will eventually lose its charge. If it’s possible, start the car and drive it for a short time while it’s in storage. If driving it is not possible, disconnecting the battery before placing your car in storage will help keep it charged.

Protect Your Tires

To help prevent flats, ensure your tires are inflated to the correct pressure. If you’re storing your car for more than 30 days, remove the wheels and place the car up on jack stands.

Use a Tire Stopper

Avoid using the parking brake when leaving your car in storage. It’s possible for the brakes to fuse if they’re left for a long time. Instead, keep the car in one place with a tire stopper.
