If you only use your RV for part of the year, you'll need to properly store it when it's not being used. This will require the space and equipment/supplies necessary to do it the right way. Otherwise, you'll likely damage your RV.

Luckily, there are companies who specialize in storing RVs, using proven methods that will ensure that they're safe and protected. The goal is to get your RV back at the end of the off-season in the same condition it was in when you dropped it off.

Here are five reasons why you should use an RV storage company:

1. You won't have to store it on your property

Like a lot of people, you might not have enough space on your property to store your RV. Or you might not want it to be there taking up usable space or being an eyesore for your neighbors.

2. You have options at different price points

Depending on your budget for storing your RV, you could choose between a few different options to get the services that you want. For example, many RV storage companies will allow you to choose between indoor storage, covered (canopy) outdoor storage, and uncovered outdoor storage. You will likely also be able to choose from a large number of additional services that are being offered, based on your needs.

3. Everything is done for you

A good RV storage company will take care of the entire process for you. You can rest assured that you'll get your RV back in the same condition that you dropped it off in. Some of the common services that they will provide include:

  • Thoroughly cleaning your RV

  • Filling the fuel tank and using a fuel stabilizer

  • Draining water pipes and filling them with antifreeze

  • Setting up pest deterrents

  • Jacking up your RV to avoid tire damage

  • Applying an RV cover to protect it from the elements

  • Indoor, outdoor, or covered storage options

4. You can still do certain things yourself

If you wish, you can take care of some of the preparation steps on your own. Whether it's to make sure it's done the way you prefer or to save yourself a little bit of money, most RV storage companies will have no problem with it. Just make sure you communicate with them throughout the process so you're both on the same page.

5. You're covered in case of accidents

Regardless of how good an RV storage company is, there's always a small risk of accidents and unforeseen complications. Luckily, the company will have insurance for these types of unlikely situations, and you'll be reimbursed for any damage that occurs during the time your RV is in storage.
