Protect Your Adventure: Why Off-Season Boat & RV Storage Matters

Josh Summerhays • December 15, 2025

Your boat or RV isn’t just a vehicle, it’s your ticket to adventure. Whether it’s weekends at the lake or road trips across the country, those memories are worth protecting. When the season ends, where you store your boat or RV makes all the difference.


At Simply Storage: Boat and RV, we offer safe, secure, and convenient storage options that help you protect your investment and get back on the road or water when the time’s right.


Why You Shouldn’t Leave Your RV or Boat at Home


It might be tempting to park your RV in the driveway or leave your boat in the yard, but here’s why that’s not ideal:

  • HOA restrictions or local ordinances may prohibit long-term parking
  • Exposure to sun, rain, and snow can wear down paint, tires, and interiors
  • Increased risk of theft or vandalism when left unattended
  • Takes up valuable space in your yard, garage, or driveway


Many RV owners choose storage facilities over driveway parking to avoid local restrictions, weather exposure, and security concerns.

Prepping Your RV or Boat for Storage


Here are a few quick tips before you park for the season:

  • Drain all water systems and tanks
  • Clean the interior and remove food or perishables
  • Cover your RV or boat with a breathable, weather-resistant cover
  • Disconnect the battery and check tire pressure
  • Lock all windows, doors, and compartments


Taking care of a few essential maintenance checks before storage can help prevent avoidable issues while your vehicle is parked.
