Short-Term Storage for Hurricane Season: How to Protect Your RV or Boat During a Storm

When hurricanes and severe weather threaten the Gulf Coast, finding a safe place to store your RV or boat becomes a top priority. At Covered Keeper, we understand that sometimes you only need a secure spot for a short period to get through the storm. That’s why we’re now offering a special 1-week prorated minimum for RV and boat owners who need a safe haven during hurricane season.

Why Short-Term Storage Can Be a Lifesaver During a Storm

Severe weather can arrive unexpectedly, leaving little time to make arrangements. When your RV or boat is exposed to high winds, heavy rains, and flying debris, it’s vulnerable to damage that can be costly to repair. Short-term storage is a reliable solution to get your vehicle out of harm’s way quickly. Our covered storage provides an added layer of protection from the elements, minimizing the risk of damage and giving you peace of mind.

Preparing Your RV or Boat for Short-Term Storage

Before bringing your RV or boat in for short-term storage, it’s important to take a few precautionary steps to ensure your vehicle is safe and secure:

1. Remove Personal Items: Take out valuables, electronics, and any personal items you don’t want to leave behind. Not only does this prevent loss, but it also reduces the chance of interior damage.

2. Secure Loose Gear: Make sure all loose items, like outdoor furniture, grills, and gear, are securely fastened or stored inside. Anything left unsecured can become a projectile in high winds.

3. Inspect for Leaks: Check your RV or boat thoroughly for any existing leaks or damage. Sealing these areas will prevent water from getting inside and causing mold, mildew, or other issues.

4. Close All Windows and Latches: Make sure every window, door, and compartment is sealed tightly to prevent rain and wind from entering.

5. Disconnect Electronics and Turn Off Gas Supplies: For safety, disconnect any electronics and make sure gas supplies are turned off to avoid potential hazards.

6. Cover Your Vehicle if Possible: While our covered storage protects from above, using a high-quality cover can provide an extra layer of defense, especially against blowing debris.

Limited Availability: Book Early to Secure a Spot

Our new 1-week prorated storage option is designed to help you get through the storm with peace of mind. However, with hurricane season in full swing, spaces are limited. We encourage you to book your spot early to ensure your RV or boat has a safe place to weather the storm.
