RV winter storage
As camping season comes to an end in Western New York, it's time to start thinking about how you'll protect your RV through the winter months. Cold temperatures, snow, ice, moisture, and changing weather conditions can all take a toll on an RV that isn't properly prepared and stored.
Why winter RV storage matters
Leaving an RV out through a Western New York winter can expose it to harsh conditions. Snow and ice can build up on the roof, while moisture and freezing temperatures can work at seams, sealants, slide-out seals, and the plumbing system.
Proper winter storage, combined with proper winterization, gives you peace of mind during the offseason and makes the first trip of spring easier.
Before your RV goes into storage
Storage is only one part of preparing your RV for winter. Before it is put away for the season:
Winterize the plumbing
Even a small amount of trapped water can freeze and damage pipes, water heaters, pumps, faucets, and other components. Removing water from the plumbing system and protecting it from freezing temperatures comes first.
Prepare the battery
Your RV battery should be prepared for long-term storage. Proper charging and storage can help extend battery life and ensure you're ready for your next trip.
Inspect the exterior
Winter is a good time to check the outside of your RV:
- Roof seams
- Caulking and sealants
- Windows and doors
- Tires
- Awnings
- Slide-out seals
Addressing small problems before winter storage can help prevent water intrusion and larger repairs later.
