Gear Up for Spring Adventures: RV and Boat Preparation

Whether you're eager to hit the open road in your RV or explore the waters in your boat, Legal Self Storage is here to help you prepare your recreational vehicles for the season. We've gathered essential storage and maintenance tips to ensure your RV or boat is primed and ready for your adventures in northern Alberta and beyond.
Step 1: Conduct a Thorough Inspection and Cleaning
RVs and Boats: Start with a detailed inspection to identify any wear and tear or damage that might have occurred during storage. Look out for water damage, pests, or mold. Cleaning your RV or boat thoroughly, both inside and out, is crucial. For boats, focus on the hull; for RVs, pay attention to the exterior and undercarriage.
Step 2: Mechanical Components Check
RVs: Ensure all mechanical systems are operational, including the engine, brakes, lighting, and air conditioning. Replace any fluids drained before winter storage and check that the battery is charged and in good condition.
Boats: Check the engine, steering system, and propellers. Confirm the battery is charged and the fuel system is functioning properly. Sailboat owners should inspect the mast and rigging with extra care.
Step 3: Update and Verify Safety Equipment
Safety is paramount. Verify that all safety equipment, like life jackets, fire extinguishers, and flares, are in good condition and haven't expired. Replenish your first aid kit as needed.
Step 4: Explore Storage Solutions
