STORAGE TIPS
Give your boat, RV, or vehicle a thorough cleaning before parking it. Removing dirt, dust, and debris can help keep the exterior in better condition while stored.
For outdoor storage, consider using a high-quality, weather-resistant cover designed specifically for your boat, RV, or vehicle. A cover can help reduce exposure to sun, rain, and other outdoor elements.
Before putting your vehicle into storage, check important fluids and mechanical systems. Addressing maintenance needs ahead of time can make your next outing easier.
If your vehicle will remain unused for an extended period, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for battery care. Proper preparation can help prevent battery-related issues when you're ready to use it again.
Remove valuable, sensitive, or unnecessary belongings from your vehicle before storage. Keep important personal items with you rather than leaving them inside your boat, RV, or vehicle.
Inspect your tires and make sure they are properly inflated according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This is especially important when storing a vehicle for an extended period.
Remove food, trash, and other items that could create unwanted odors or attract pests. Make sure the interior is dry before closing and storing your vehicle.
Keep frequently needed equipment and accessories easy to access. Organizing your boat, RV, or vehicle before storage can save time when you're getting ready for your next trip.
Consider your vehicle, storage duration, and desired level of protection when choosing between indoor, covered, or uncovered storage. Decatur Lock Boat & RV Storage offers options for boats, RVs, and vehicles to fit different needs.
