Better Self Storage

How to Winterize Your RV or Camper

RV's and boat storage parking units

Your RV deserves better than a driveway nap under a soggy tarp. Give it the royal winter treatment:

❄️ Drain the plumbing. Empty all tanks and lines, then add non-toxic RV antifreeze. Think of it as a frosty cocktail for your pipes.

 ❄️ Deep clean. Wipe down surfaces, vacuum every corner, remove food, and air it out. Mold is not a vibe.

 ❄️ Seal up. Check the roof, windows, and seams — patch or reseal to prevent leaks.

 ❄️ Unplug and disconnect. Store the battery indoors or use a trickle charger to keep it happy.

 ❄️ Cover it up. A breathable cover helps, but an indoor storage unit at BSS is the ultimate protection from rain, snow, sleet, and all things nasty.


🛥️ How to Winterize Your Boat


Your boat’s had its fun — now it’s time for a spa day before the big freeze.

❄️ Flush and drain the engine. Get every drop of water out before it turns to ice.

 ❄️ Oil change, ahoy. Fresh oil keeps corrosion away while it sits.

 ❄️ Clean and dry. Every inch, inside and out. Mildew loves neglect.

 ❄️ Remove batteries and electronics. Cold + moisture = bad combo.

 ❄️ Cover securely. Or better yet, skip the cover struggle and store indoors where no snowflake dares to land.


🚛 Don’t Forget the Trailer

Even the most loyal trailer needs a little off-season love:

❄️ Grease the moving parts. Jacks, hitches, and hinges all need protection from rust.

 ❄️ Check the tires. Inflate properly and inspect for cracks or dry rot.

 ❄️ Keep it clean. Dirt and salt can slowly eat away at the metal.

 ❄️ Park on pavement. Grass or dirt traps moisture — paved storage keeps things solid and clean.


🧤 Why Storing at BSS Beats the Driveway

Let’s be honest — driveway storage sounds convenient… until you’re scraping snow off your roof in your pajamas, fighting frozen locks, and muttering things that would make Santa blush.


That’s why storing at BSS (Business Storage Solutions) is a total game-changer.

❄️ Indoor, fully enclosed warehouse-style parking keeps your boat or RV safe from wind, snow, sleet, rain, and rust.

 ❄️ Automatic roll-up entry doors mean no frozen padlocks or awkward tarp wrestling.

 ❄️ Paved surfaces prevent moisture buildup and tire rot.

 ❄️ Extra-wide bays and tall ceilings fit even your biggest adventure rig.

 ❄️ Secure and accessible — so you can sleep easy while your baby stays protected.


It’s like a winter vacation for your vehicle — safe, warm, and waiting patiently for your next great escape.

🌨️ The Bottom Line: Protect Now, Play Later


Your RV or boat isn’t just a toy — it’s your adventure partner, your ticket to the open road (or the open lake), and a piece of your story.

So give it the protection it deserves this winter. Take the time to winterize, clean, seal, and then store it somewhere dry, secure, and out of the elements — like right here at BSS.


Because when spring rolls back around and everyone else is knee-deep in repairs and raccoon evictions, you’ll just turn the key and go.


☃️ Keep it comfy. Keep it covered. Keep it at BSS.

Spring is here—and with it comes a fresh start.
