How To Store Your RV or Travel Trailer in Mill Bay

RV life, what do you do with your home away from home?

The open road, a good playlist, and your prized recreational vehicle are all you need for an exciting adventure, but when the season comes to a close or you’re a bit too busy to enjoy the

Many of us don’t have extra room in the driveway for a 25 foot long RV or travel trailer, so it’s essential that we find a secure and spacious place to store your home on wheels in the off-season. Here are a few recommendations we have on how to store your RV or travel trailer in Mill Bay.

Storing your RV or Trailer in Mill Bay with Pacific Rim Storage
  • Clean It Out

    When storing your RV or travel trailer, the first thing you’ll want to do is clean it out. You should do a deep clean that includes an exterior wash to remove dirt and grime, wipe down and vacuum the interior, remove any leftover food that might entice critters, drain all fluids, winterize if needed, and open the vents to allow airflow and prevent mold and mildew.
    This crucial step will ensure that when your RV comes out of storage for the next road trip, it’s in tip-top shape and doesn’t have any musty (or worse) smells.

  • Implement Pest Control

    Another important step to take before storing your RV in Mill Bay is to implement pest control. No one wants to open up their RV or travel trailer to find the mess that critters like mice, squirrels, and moths can leave behind.

    To implement a pest control strategy, make sure that they are no holes or gaps where critters can get into your RV. This includes vents, hoses, and pipes, which you can cover with spray foam or steel wool.

  • Cover Up

    Even if you store your RV or travel trailer under a covered parking space (which we do offer at Pacific Rim Storage’s Mill Bay location), it is a good idea to put an exterior cover on to protect your RV from the elements. Believe it or not, this is actually very important in the summer, as
    heat and sunlight can cause damage to your recreational vehicle.

  • Find A Secure Storage Facility

    Most importantly, when storing your RV or travel trailer in Mill Bay, you need to find a secure storage facility where your home away from home will be well taken care of. Pacific Rim Storage’s Mill Bay location offers a number of options for RV storage with benefits such as a caretaker on-site, access seven days a week, covered parking, and more. Our vehicle storageoptions range from 15 feet to 45 feet, and covered options are also available.

Safety is important:

The roads that you’ve driven and memories you’ve made are stored in your RV or travel trailer, so we understand how important it is to safely store that home on wheels when it’s not in use.
