Your Guide to Storing an RV Between July Road Trips

Not using your RV every day this summer? You’re not alone. Here’s how to keep it protected between trips — and why covered storage near Mexico Beach is the smartest move for part-time travelers.


RVs Weren’t Meant to Sit in the Sun

Even when you’re not on the road, your RV is still exposed to the elements — and in Florida, that means:

  • Intense UV rays that dry out seals and fade paint
  • Sudden downpours that leave standing water or mildew
  • Salt-heavy air that causes rust over time
  • Interior heat buildup that damages upholstery and electronics

For weekend warriors and seasonal visitors who park between trips, all that exposure adds up — and fast.


What to Do Between Trips

If you’re not full-timing in your RV, storing it properly during downtime is just as important as prepping it for a road trip. Here’s what you should do:

  1. Clean and rinse the exterior to remove salt and road grime
  2. Cover or shade tires to prevent UV cracking
  3. Disconnect the battery or use a maintainer if you’ll be away a while
  4. Keep windows and vents closed to reduce interior moisture
  5. Store it in a covered stall to limit exposure to sun and rain

Each of these steps adds life to your vehicle — and helps you avoid surprise repairs when you’re ready to hit the road again.


Why Covered Storage is Ideal for Part-Time RVers

Covered RV storage offers the perfect in-between solution. You’re not paying for full indoor storage, but you’re not leaving your rig in the open, either.

At Covered Keeper, part-time travelers appreciate:

  • Full roof coverage to block direct sun and rain
  • Easy access for quick weekend getaways
  • Secure facility just 15 minutes from Mexico Beach
  • Month-to-month flexibility with no long-term contract

It’s protection and convenience — without overcommitting.


Make the Most of Your Summer, Not Just Your RV

Just because your RV isn’t in use every day doesn’t mean it should be left unprotected. Keeping it covered between trips gives you peace of mind, preserves its value, and keeps you ready for the next getaway.

And with 50% off your first two months, now’s the perfect time to switch to smarter storage.

Reserve your stall today and get back on the road when you’re ready — not when the weather says so.
