A Pre-RV Storage Checklist
Your recreational vehicle, or RV, is your home away from home while you’re on the road. When you’re not heading to your favorite camping spot or traveling across the country, your RV can potentially take up a lot of space on your property, especially if you own a smaller lot. To ensure that your RV is protected against the elements, damage, and theft when it’s not being used, you should have it stored at a secure storage facility that offers jumbo storage units and RV storage. Here are a few steps you need to take to prepare your RV for storage.
Thoroughly Clean Your RV Inside and Out
To prepare for RV storage, give your vehicle’s exterior a good wash and wax—waxing helps to deflect harmful ultraviolet rays from your RV, as well as to make it harder for dirt to build up. Be sure to clean the inside of your vehicle, too.
Inspect All Seams and Seals
After a thorough cleaning and waxing, inspect all of your RV’s seams and seals, and assess their conditions. Silicon seams and rubber seals are prone to cracking as well as wear and tear. If you notice failing seams or seals, repair them immediately. Otherwise, you may potentially allow moisture, or other potential dangers, to invade and damage your RV while it’s being stored.
Ensure Proper Ventilation
Moisture is a major concern when storing anything. If excessive moisture is present inside your RV, it can encourage mold and mildew growth, which can cause the interior of your vehicle to have a musty odor. To prevent this from happening, leave your RV’s rooftop vents open. Use vent covers that are designed to allow adequate airflow in and out of your vehicle while not allowing rainwater to get in.

The Benefits of Off-Site Storage for Your Business
Over the years, a business can accumulate a lot of items such as inventory, mountains of important paperwork, business supplies, and boxes upon boxes of records and receipts. If left unchecked, all of these items can start to clutter up your office space, storage rooms, or storefront. To maintain a sense of order and organization that your business needs to thrive, you should utilize an off-site storage unit. Here are some benefits of off-site business storage.
Clutter-Free Business
Office spaces and storefronts that are cluttered can be real turnoffs for business associates and customers. Not only can clutter be unsightly, but it can also make your business seem less credible. To keep your place of business tidy and organized, store your files, excess inventory, and other business items that you’re not currently using at a secure storage facility.
Accessibility and Convenience
When choosing among the many storage facilities in your area, go with the one that’s nearest to your business. Ideally, your storage unit should be no more than five minutes away by car. Also, be sure to pick a place that has convenient hours of operation—that is, your unit should be accessible to you and your employees when you need to access your belongings.
Climate-Controlled Storage Units
If you’re planning to move boxes of important business documents, receipts, or financial records to your storage unit, you want to be sure that they’re going to be safe while they’re being stored. Since standard units are generally not airtight or insulated, the items kept inside them can be vulnerable to extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity levels. To protect your valuable and sensitive items, consider renting a climate-controlled storage unit, which is designed to maintain a steady temperature and humidity level within itself.
POUCH Self Storage strives to provide our customers with the best business storage solutions on the market today. Contact us at (800) 378-4598 to learn more about our business and self storage options in Rancho Cucamonga, as well as our free moving truck service.
