Essential Tips to Protect Your Motorhome During the Off-Season

For many motorhome owners, the end of summer signals one thing: time to tuck your rig away until the next adventure. But storing a motorhome isn’t just about parking it and walking away. To avoid costly repairs, moisture damage, and battery failure, a little prep goes a long way.

Here’s how to store your motorhome like a pro:

1. Clean Thoroughly 🧼

Start with a deep clean inside and out. Road grime, bugs, and food crumbs can attract pests and cause long-term damage. A clean motorhome is a happy motorhome.

2. Drain & Disconnect 🔧

Empty your water tanks, disconnect the battery, and consider adding a fuel stabilizer. These steps help prevent corrosion, freezing, and electrical issues during storage.

3. Seal & Cover 🛡️

Inspect roof seams, windows, and doors for leaks. Use tire covers and vent plugs to guard against UV damage and unwanted critters.

4. Choose Climate-Controlled Storage ❄️

North Idaho winters are unpredictable. Heated indoor storage protects your motorhome from freezing temperatures, moisture buildup, and mold—common issues in outdoor lots.

5. Prioritize Security 🔒

Look for gated access, video surveillance, and limited entry points. Your motorhome is a major investment—it deserves more than a chain-link fence.

At Advanced RV & Boat Storage, we offer spacious, climate-controlled indoor units built specifically for high-end motorhomes. No exposure to the elements. No gravel. Just peace of mind.

Reserve your space today and give your motorhome the protection it deserves.

No Winterizing, No Worries: How Indoor Storage Cuts Costs

By Jordan Austin • September 24, 2025

If you’ve ever winterized an RV, boat, or trailer, you know it’s no small task. Between draining systems, sealing vents, and buying antifreeze, it’s a time-consuming process that can still leave your vehicle vulnerable to Idaho’s harsh winters. But what if you could skip all that — and save money doing it? The True Cost of Winterizing Let’s break it down: Professional winterization: $300–$600 per vehicle DIY supplies: $100–$200 (plus your time) Potential damage from improper storage: $1,000+ in repairs Now compare that to indoor, climate-controlled storage: No need to winterize water systems No risk of freezing, mold, or sun damage No spring surprises or repair bills Quick, Easy, and Worry-Free Indoor storage means you drive in, park, and walk away. No draining tanks. No crawling under trailers. No guessing if you did it right. At Advanced RV & Boat Storage , we make it simple.
