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.

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.

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.

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.
