Hurricane Prep: Why Secure Boat & RV Storage Matters

Florida’s hurricane season brings strong winds, heavy rains, and unpredictable storms that can put your boat or RV at risk. Proper storage is essential to protecting your investment from costly damage. Here’s why secure storage at Covered Keeper in Port St. Joe, FL is a must for hurricane preparedness.

1. Protection from High Winds & Flying Debris

Hurricanes can bring wind speeds exceeding 100 mph, turning loose objects into dangerous projectiles. Storing your boat or RV in a secure, covered facility minimizes the risk of:

  • Broken Windows & Exterior Damage – Prevents shattered glass and dented exteriors.
  • Uprooted or Tipped Vehicles – Reduces the risk of your RV being flipped by high winds.
  • Loose Gear Loss – Keeps trailers, covers, and accessories from being blown away.
2. Reduces Risk of Flood & Water Damage

Hurricanes can cause flooding and saltwater intrusion, leading to long-term damage. Secure storage helps by:

  • Keeping Your Vehicle Elevated – Reducing exposure to floodwaters and standing water.
  • Preventing Water Seepage – Protecting electrical components and interior furnishings.
  • Ensuring Proper Drainage – Avoiding rust, mold, and mildew caused by trapped moisture.
3. Avoids Costly Repairs & Insurance Claims

Leaving your boat or RV unprotected can lead to:

  • Roof & Structural Damage – High winds can rip off roof coverings and weaken seals.
  • Destroyed Awnings & Accessories – Exposed awnings, antennas, and solar panels can be torn away.
  • Insurance Headaches – Storing your vehicle properly may help with coverage eligibility or lower premiums.
4. Quick Access After the Storm

When the storm clears, you’ll want to get back to adventuring. Keeping your boat or RV at a secure storage facility means:

  • No Need for Emergency Towing – Your vehicle remains safe and ready to use.
  • Immediate Access to Check for Damage – Easily inspect and prep for your next trip.
  • Peace of Mind – Knowing your investment was well-protected during the storm.
