Climate-Controlled Storage Options
In areas with extreme temperatures and humidity, Dose Moving & Storage's climate-controlled storage facilities provide a safe haven for RVs. By maintaining a stable atmosphere, we shield your vehicle from the elements, preventing warping, cracking, and other forms of damage.
Our facilities keep humidity levels and temperature fluctuations within a narrow range, ensuring sensitive materials like wood and electronics remain intact and functional. This controlled environment also reduces the risk of mechanical issues, as temperature fluctuations can cause lubricants to break down and moving parts to seize.
With Dose Moving & Storage's climate-controlled storage, you can rest assured your RV will stay in top condition, even in harsh environments.
Mold and Mildew Growth
High humidity levels create the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow, causing significant damage to your RV's interior and exterior surfaces. To prevent this, Dose Moving & Storage recommends controlling humidity levels within the storage unit.
One effective way to do this is by using ventilation systems that promote air circulation and reduce moisture buildup. It's essential to open all windows and vents slightly to allow fresh air to enter and stale air to escape. Additionally, consider using desiccant packets or dehumidifying products to absorb excess moisture.
Secure RV Battery Terminals
At Dose Moving & Storage, we know that disconnecting and securing your RV's battery terminals is a crucial step in preparing your vehicle for storage. This simple task prevents unnecessary drain and damage to the electrical system.
Here's how to do it:
First, give those terminals a good cleaning with a terminal cleaning brush to remove any corrosion or buildup. Then, apply a corrosion protection spray or gel to prevent further corrosion during storage.
Next, it's time to disconnect the cables. Start by removing the negative battery cable from the terminal, followed by the positive cable. Don't forget to use a terminal cap or cover to protect the terminals from accidental contact.
