Are you thinking about putting your caravan into a storage unit this winter? There are plenty of reasons why long-term storage is a brilliant option for your caravan over winter, from keeping it away from the unpredictable Perth weather to making sure your valuable asset remains safe from theft or vandalism.
But, before you start researching cheap storage units in Perth, remember that Titan Storage is the conveniently located self-storage expert. Our secure facility is the perfect option for your caravan this winter.
Read on to learn our tops tips for storing your caravan this winter.
Follow these simple steps to help you avoid damage and potentially costly repairs.
- Give your caravan a thorough clean: clean it inside and out before you place it into a self-storage unit. Cleaning can help prevent long-term damage to upholstery and paintwork and reduce the chances of pests during storage.
- Remove the batteries: taking out the batteries will help prevent corrosion and battery depletion. Store your main battery in a cool, dry place, and remove any other batteries from small appliances in the caravan.
- Please turn off the gas: before you store your caravan turn off any connected gas cylinders and disconnect them. Store them somewhere cool and ventilated. We recommend keeping your gas cylinders at home.
- Check your seals: give the door and window seals a once-over to ensure they are all intact. Replace any cracked or broken seals to stop unwanted pests from getting in.
- Clean out your water system: several parts of the water system need to be checked over before storage to reduce future maintenance problems. Drain any fluid from the water system and empty and flush out the toilet waste tank. Empty the water heater and plug any sinks.
- Empty the fridge: discard any food you won’t use, clean the refrigerator and leave it to dry with the door open. Airflow prevents mould growth, leaving your fridge ready to go for your next adventure.
- Check your long-term self-storage facility is secure: caravans are expensive to buy. They are a valuable asset, so you must choose a self-storage facility in Perth that will keep yours secure. Our Titan Storage facility features CCTV surveillance and is only accessible with unique access codes. You can feel safe knowing that it will remain safe from theft or vandalism when you store your caravan with Titan, giving you peace of mind.
