RV Storage Tips

Inflate the tires to maximum PSI. Exceeding the recommended pressure or not filling the tires up all the way, can cause flat tires.

Leave the fridge open after cleaning it out. Built up moisture can cause mold and mildew to form while in storage, and a dark sealed fridge is the perfect environment.

Vehicle Storage Tips

Instead of the parking brake, use wheel chocks to keep your vehicle secure.

Putting the car on jacks is another easy way to avoid flat spots in tires.

Boat Storage Tips

A heavy duty cover will keep rain and debris off.

Salt water can do damage to the sheen on your boat, clean off the exterior after the last trip out on the water.
