Learn about important Best Practices for RV Storage that ensure your RV is well maintained and ready for its next adventure

Wash Your Rig

When it comes to RV storage, the first best practice is to thoroughly wash your rig.

Regularly cleaning your RV before storage helps prevent dirt, grime, and environmental residues from causing damage to the exterior. Use a gentle RV-specific soap and a soft brush to avoid scratching the surface. Pay extra attention to the roof, windows, and awnings, ensuring all areas are spotless.

A clean RV not only looks good but also ensures longevity by preventing rust, mold, and mildew buildup, making it an essential step in your RV storage routine.

Pump Your Sewage

Properly managing your RV's sewage system is crucial before storing it for an extended period.

Start by completely emptying the black and gray water tanks at a designated dump station. Use a high-quality tank cleaner to thoroughly flush out any remaining residue, reducing the risk of unpleasant odors and bacterial growth.

Additionally, consider adding a deodorizing solution to keep the tanks fresh during storage. This practice not only maintains a hygienic environment inside your RV but also prevents potential damage to the sewage system, ensuring your RV is ready for the road when you need it.

Dump Your Trash

Before storing your RV, always remember to dump your trash.

Clearing out all the garbage and food waste helps prevent pests and rodents from making your RV their home. Inspect all cabinets, drawers, and storage compartments, ensuring no food remnants or trash are left behind. Use disinfectant wipes to clean surfaces, leaving a fresh and clean interior.

Proper trash disposal is a simple yet effective way to maintain a sanitary and pest-free environment in your RV, making it ready for your next adventure without any unpleasant surprises.
