Why Covered Storage Is a Must for Florida Summers

Summer is peak season for adventure — but it’s also peak season for damage. Here’s why covered RV and boat storage matters more than ever in Florida’s heat, humidity, and salt-heavy air.


Florida Summers Are Tough on Your RV or Boat

If you’ve lived in Port St. Joe or spent time near Mexico Beach, you already know: Florida summers are no joke. The combination of direct UV exposure, salty air from the coast, and pop-up thunderstorms is a perfect recipe for wear and tear — especially on large vehicles stored outdoors.

Without proper protection, your RV or boat is vulnerable to:

  • Fading paint and decals
  • Roof and seal cracking
  • Interior heat damage
  • Mold and mildew buildup
  • Rust and corrosion — especially in metal trailers and fittings

And the longer your vehicle sits between trips, the more damage accumulates.


Covered Storage = Year-Round Protection

Unlike open gravel lots or uncovered parking fields, covered storage shields your vehicle from the sun and weather while still giving you quick, daily access.

Covered Keeper’s stalls offer:

  • Full roof coverage to block UV and rain
  • Open sides for airflow and ventilation
  • Secure layout to prevent damage from neighboring vehicles
  • Quick access to Highway 98 and the main boat ramps

It’s the kind of setup built specifically for Florida summers — where protection is practical, not optional.


Salt Air Is Silent — But Costly

One of the biggest threats to your vehicle is the one you can’t see right away: coastal salt air. Even when your RV or boat is parked a few miles inland, salt particles in the air can settle onto metal components and gradually eat away at:

  • Trailer hitches
  • Undercarriages
  • Ladders and rails
  • Window frames
  • Seals and hinges

Covered storage slows this process significantly — especially for part-time residents or seasonal travelers who leave their equipment stored between trips.
