RV, Boat and Vehicle Storage at Vault Storage

For many, an RV, boat, or cherished vehicle is more than just a possession; it’s an embodiment of adventure, freedom, and memorable experiences. But the challenges of finding appropriate storage can often overshadow the joy of ownership. Whether it’s the changing seasons, lack of space at home, or the desire for added security, a reliable storage solution becomes paramount. At Vault Storage, located across our three esteemed facilities in Maryland, we understand these needs intimately. Our outdoor parking spaces, tailored for RVs, boats, and vehicles, not only provide convenience but also peace of mind. Read on to discover why utilizing Vault Storage’s spaces is the optimal choice for your prized possessions.

Why Choose Specialized Storage for Your RV, Boat, or Vehicle?

While it might be tempting to simply park your RV, boat, or vehicle in your driveway or by the curb, several distinct advantages come with choosing a specialized storage facility:

Space Efficiency: Residential driveways or garages aren’t always spacious enough to accommodate larger vehicles, especially RVs and boats. Dedicated storage spaces ensure that your prized possession fits comfortably without obstructing daily life.
Protection from Elements: Although these vehicles are built to withstand the great outdoors, constant exposure to the sun, rain, snow, and other environmental factors can lead to wear and tear over time. Storing them in a dedicated space helps mitigate the damaging effects of prolonged exposure.
Safety and Security: A vehicle parked outside a home can become a target for theft or vandalism. At a specialized storage facility like Vault Storage, enhanced security measures, including surveillance cameras and gated access, significantly reduce these risks.
Neighborhood Restrictions: Many residential areas have strict rules against parking larger vehicles like RVs and boats for extended periods. Avoid potential fines or disputes by choosing a dedicated storage solution.
Easy Access: With our strategically located facilities in Maryland, accessing your RV, boat, or vehicle is hassle-free. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a spontaneous trip, your vehicle is always within reach, ready for the next adventure.
Maintenance and Upkeep: Our spacious storage areas allow for easier maintenance checks and cleaning, ensuring that your vehicle remains in top condition.

By opting for specialized storage, you’re not just finding a space for your vehicle; you’re ensuring its longevity, security, and optimal condition for all future adventures.

Preparing Your RV, Boat, or Vehicle for Storage

Before you park your cherished vehicle, boat, or RV at Vault Storage, taking some preparatory steps will help maintain its condition and ensure it’s ready for use when you return. Follow this checklist to prep your asset:

Deep Cleaning: Begin with a thorough cleaning, both inside and out. For boats, this means removing any standing water and cleaning the hull. For RVs and vehicles, vacuum the interiors, wipe down surfaces, and wash the exterior. This not only preserves the appearance but also prevents mold, mildew, and pests.
Fluid Check: Ensure all fluids, including oil, coolant, and brake fluid, are at the recommended levels. If you’re storing for an extended period, consider adding a fuel stabilizer to prevent the gasoline from deteriorating.
Battery Maintenance: For long-term storage, disconnect the battery to prevent it from draining. Store it in a cool, dry place or consider a trickle charger to maintain its charge.
Tire Care: Inflate tires to the recommended pressure. Over time, tires can lose air, so it’s essential to start with them fully inflated. For prolonged storage, consider using tire covers to protect them from sunlight.
Seal It Up: Check for any openings or cracks in windows, doors, or other parts of the vehicle or boat. Seal these areas to prevent pests and water from getting inside.
Ventilation: For RVs, consider slightly opening a roof vent for better air circulation to avoid mold and mildew. Use covers to prevent rain or pests from entering.
Empty & Defrost: If your RV has a refrigerator, ensure it’s empty and defrosted. Leave the door slightly ajar to prevent mold.
Protect from Pests: Place mothballs or rodent repellents around the vehicle, especially near the engine and storage compartments.
Document Everything: Take photos of your RV, boat, or vehicle from multiple angles. This documentation can be useful for insurance purposes or to remember its initial condition before storage.
Insurance: Ensure your vehicle, boat, or RV insurance is up to date. Some policies might have specific coverage for storage.

Remember, the better the preparation, the smoother the transition when you’re ready to hit the road or water again. With these steps, your prized possession will remain in prime condition, awaiting your return at Vault Storage.

Tips and Tricks for Long-Term Vehicle Storage

Whether you’re setting sail for a lengthy voyage, taking an extended overseas trip, or just want to keep your vehicle safe during the off-season, long-term storage requires a bit of preparation. Properly storing your RV, boat, or vehicle ensures that it remains in top condition, ready for use when you return. Here are some handy tips and tricks to consider:

Thorough Cleaning: Before storing, clean your vehicle inside and out. For boats, ensure barnacles or other water residues are removed. A clean vehicle is less likely to develop mold, mildew, or attract pests.
Top Off Fluids: Fill the gas tank and add a fuel stabilizer to prevent the fuel from degrading. Also, check other fluids like coolant, brake fluid, and oil. Changing the oil before long-term storage can protect the engine from potential damage.
Disconnect the Battery: For longer storage durations, disconnect the battery to prevent it from draining. Alternatively, consider using a trickle charger to maintain the battery’s charge.
Cover Up: Invest in a high-quality, breathable cover for your vehicle, boat, or RV. This will protect it from dust, debris, and UV radiation.
Tire Care: For vehicles and RVs, inflate tires to the recommended pressure. Over time, tires can lose pressure, so ensuring they’re filled can prevent flat spots from developing.
Ventilation: If possible, slightly open a window or vent to allow for air circulation, especially in RVs or boats. This can help prevent musty odors and interior dampness.
Seal Off: Ensure that all openings—like exhausts or vents—are sealed off to prevent critters from making a home inside.
Check on Insurance: Before putting your vehicle into storage, ensure that your insurance coverage is appropriate. Some providers offer specialized storage insurance which might be beneficial.
Regularly Visit: If possible, try to visit your stored vehicle every few months. Run the engine for a few minutes, inspect for any signs of issues, and ensure that the security measures remain intact.
Lubricate: Apply lubrication to hinges, bearings, and any other parts that might rust or get stuck over time.

Remember, the key to smooth long-term storage is preparation. Taking these steps not only ensures that your vehicle remains in good shape but also ensures that your post-storage experience—be it hitting the road, water, or trails—is hassle-free and enjoyable. With a little foresight and care, your vehicle will be ready for adventure whenever you are!
