How to Store Your Travel Trailer

Travel trailers are an incredible way to travel, but unfortunately you might not be able to utilize your travel trailer all the time. When you aren’t hitting the road, it’s important to store your trailer in a way that will preserve its condition and reduce the risk of damage and decay. Our team at MIG RV has a few storage tips to help!

Cover is Crucial

The ideal situation for storing a travel trailer would be to park it underneath a shelter or in a large shop. Obviously this isn’t possible for everyone, so there are other ways you can provide cover for your trailer. 

You can purchase large tarps or specific RV covers that will protect your travel trailer when it’s not in use. Having cover can prevent damage to your A/C unit and reduce exposure to moisture and sunlight which can cause damage or leaks over time. 

A Clean Interior

Keeping the exterior of your travel trailer covered is an important factor, but you’ll also want to care for the interior of the travel trailer when it’s being stored as well. Make sure to remove all personal items you’ll need. Remove all food from the cabinets, freezer, and refrigerator. 

Be Disconnected

Finally, when you’re storing your travel trailer, especially for an extended time, make sure to disconnect all hoses and electrical. Close everything up, lock the doors, shut the windows, and close all the nozzles!
