Is it safe to store photos in your self-storage?

Heat can distort photos, and the humidity could promote mold and mildew. Avoid the chance for heat or cold damage and always store your important papers and photos in a storage unit with temperature control. Photo Albums and scrapbooks should ideally be wrapped in Acid-Free Packing Paper before being placed in a moving carton.

How to winterize your RV for storage?

• Drain the Water System: Any water left in the plumbing system can freeze and break fittings and lines

• Prepare the Exterior: Do a thorough inspection of the roof, sidewalls, seams, windows, exterior doors and access panels. Reseal or re-caulk any holes or cracks that will prevent water from getting in

• Choose a Safe Location & storage facility

• Cover Up Your RV: Weather such as rain, snow, wind, and sun can damage your paint, panels, walls, and more.

• Protect the Tires: Tires may be susceptible to damage due to UV rays from the sun. Protect your tires with covers that are often available at your RV dealership

• Save Your Batteries: Disconnect batteries and store them in a cool dry place for longer-lasting batteries.

Why do you need stored property insurance?

• Self-storage facilities generally do not provide insurance and disclaim liability for damage or loss to your stored property.

• Tenant insurance is intended to cover property stored inside a storage unit in the event of a burglary, damage or loss and some include fire, flooding, weather damage and more.
