Storage Tips

Proper preparation helps protect your RV, boat, or vehicle while it’s stored in our uncovered outdoor parking spaces at American River RV & Boat Storage in Rancho Cordova, CA. A little planning goes a long way in keeping your property clean, maintained, and ready to go when you are.

1. Clean Your Vehicle Before Storing
Wash and thoroughly clean your RV, boat, or vehicle before parking it. Removing dirt, grime, salt, and debris helps prevent long-term wear, staining, and corrosion during storage.


2. Check Fluids and Battery
Make sure all fluids are topped off and there are no leaks, before storing. For vehicles, consider disconnecting the battery or using a maintenance charger to help preserve battery life during longer stays.


3. Protect Tires from Wear
Inflate tires to the recommended pressure before storage. If possible, move the vehicle periodically or use tire protection measures to help prevent flat spots from developing over time.


4. Cover and Protect Exposed Areas
Since all storage is uncovered outdoor parking, using a high-quality, weather-resistant cover is highly recommended. Protect key areas such as seats, dashboards, windows, and sensitive equipment from sun exposure, dust, and weather conditions.


5. Secure and Lock Everything
Always lock doors, compartments, and storage areas before leaving your vehicle. Remove valuable items or store them securely to reduce risk and keep your property safe.


6. Prepare for Weather Conditions
Use UV protection, waterproof covers, and sealants where needed to help guard against sun, rain, and seasonal weather changes common in the Greater Sacramento Metro area.


7. Keep Registration and Insurance Current
Ensure your RV, boat, or vehicle registration and insurance are up to date while in storage. This helps avoid issues when you’re ready to retrieve or use your property again.


8. Plan for Easy Access
Organize your vehicle so it’s ready to go when you pick it up. Storing essential items in an accessible way makes your next trip faster and more convenient.
