Parking for Your Cars, Boats, and RVs
When you’re finally home from the season’s adventure, and it’s time to decide what to do with your RV or boat.
You could leave it in the driveway for the winter, but that might not be the best option. Your neighbors may think it’s an eyesore, or you may belong to a neighborhood association that has rules against leaving oversized vehicles in the driveway or on the street.
Don't forget the extreme inconvenience of having to maneuver around it to park your cars in your garage!
What you need is a convenient, affordable, and dependable place to store your “home away from home” until you’re ready to use it again. Right Move Storage has years of experience storing recreational vehicles ranging from motorcycles, boats, travel trailers, and truck campers to Class A, B, and C motorhomes.
RV Storage Tips
Tips for Safely Storing Your Recreational Vehicle
- Drain All Tanks
Drain the freshwater, black, and gray holding tanks.
Drain the Water Heater - remove the drain plug and open the pressure relief valve. Caution: Do not drain when the water is hot!
- Remove Food/Supplies
This seems obvious, but even that forgotten bag of unopened chips can attract bugs.
In any case, food left for long periods of time will become moldy and/or inedible.
- Disconnect & Leave the Refrigerator Open
Leaving the refrigerator door open prevents stale air and condensation
- Use RV-Approved Non-Toxic Anti-freeze
To keep your pipes from freezing during frigid weather, use RV-approved, non-toxic anti-freeze so that you don’t poison your water
- Pressurize Your System
Start with the faucet closest to the water pump and slowly open the hot and then the cold valves until the anti-freeze appears.
- Cover External Vents
Covering your vents helps keep out pests.
- Add a Wax Coat
Coating your RV will help it look better and add protection against the weather
Tips for Safely Storing Your Boat
When it’s time to take your boat out of the water for winter, there are a few things that you need to know.
It’s not as simple as pulling it out of the water and hauling it to your storage facility.
Frigid weather and/or long periods of storage can result in expensive repairs.
- Manage Fluids
- Add a Fuel Stabilizer and Fill the Tank - Condensation can form in an empty gas tank, causing corrosion or worse if the moisture freezes. A fuel stabilizer will prevent this from happening and your fuel will be ready to go when you are.
- Change the Oil - Water or acids that have gotten into your oil can corrode the engine. Change the filter and flush it out so that no water remains then add new oil.
- Refresh the Coolant System - Drain the current coolant, flush with water, and fill with fresh antifreeze. Make sure you’ve diluted the antifreeze to specification! This will protect your engine from freezing and corrosion.
- Disconnect the Battery
Don’t allow your battery to drain over the winter – disconnect it and top it off with distilled water.
Charge the battery periodically to make sure it’s ready to go when you hook it back up to your boat.
- Grease the Steering Mechanism
Grease the steering and control mechanisms so that they will be moving smoothly when it’s time to take the boat out again.
- Remove the Drive Belts
Before storing your boat, loosen or remove the drive belts.
They may crack under the stress of being kept under tension for long periods of time.
- Maintain the Interior of Your Boat
If you have electronics in your boat, they are vulnerable to extreme cold and moisture. Remove them prior to storage.
Leather, canvas, and any other organic fabrics should be removed to prevent mold and mildew.
Empty the water tanks and run antifreeze through the pipes.
- Wash and Wax the Exterior
Cover the hull/body of your boat with wax.
This will prevent rust from corroding your boat’s body and is particularly important if you are storing your boat outside.
- Use a Cover
A boat cover will protect your boat from dirt, dust, grime, and moisture.
