At Grand Safe Storage LLC, we know how important it is to properly prepare your RV, boat, or vehicle for storage during the colder months. Harsh winter conditions can lead to freeze damage, battery failure, and unwanted wear, but taking the right steps before storing ensures your investment stays protected, secure, and ready to use when the seasons change.  

Essential Winter Storage Preparation Checklist 

✔ Drain all holding tanks and leave valves open to prevent freezing and pipe damage.  

✔ Fill the fuel tank to minimize condensation and potential fuel line issues.  

✔ Pour eco-friendly, RV-safe antifreeze in toilets and sinks for plumbing protection.  

✔ Disconnect the main water service at the pump outlet to avoid freezing.  

✔ Remove the drain plug from the hot water tank for proper drainage.  

✔ Turn off all gas appliances and fully shut off the propane tank for safety.  

✔ Seal all windows and vents tightly—use covers for roof vents and air conditioners.  

✔ Lower blinds and close curtains to protect interior materials from sun exposure.  

✔ Clean the refrigerator and leave the door open to prevent odors and mold growth.  

✔ Remove all perishable food—avoid attracting pests during storage.  

✔ Disconnect batteries and label wire connections for easy reinstallation.  

✔ Secure all valuables and electronic devices—anything not bolted down should be removed.  

✔ Lock all doors and storage compartments to prevent unauthorized access.  

✔ Ensure all tarps and covers are secured—this prevents damage from high winds and snow buildup.  

✔ Cover tires to protect against cracking due to cold temperatures.  

✔ Lock or remove hitches to prevent unauthorized towing or movement.  

✔ For vehicle storage, ensure your parking space is fully cleared to avoid additional charges.
