Storing

Where to store

Storage surface

The ideal surface for extended parking of your RV will have good drainage. Crushed rock (baserock) or gravel work well. These options have the added advantage that they can be removed if/when you no longer have the need.
Concrete works for many, although it doesn’t have drainage like the other options.

Jacks down or up

Some people prefer to store their RV with the jacks deployed, to take weight off the tires.

RV covers

There are mixed thoughts on the use of RV covers. They help protect the outside of the RV by keeping the sun off. However, they are difficult to put on and off. They can also cause abrasion to the exterior surfaces in high winds.

Covered storage

Covered storage is the ideal, but is not always available and is relatively expensive to rent. However, covered storage often comes with 120V power, which makes it possible to keep the batteries charged.
