Summer in South Georgia is no joke—especially when it comes to heat and humidity. If you’re planning to store your RV for the season, a few smart steps can make all the difference in protecting your investment. At Chapin Storage Co., we’ve helped plenty of RV owners keep their rigs in top shape while parked, and we’re sharing our go-to tips to help you do the same.
First things first—moisture is the enemy. Our high humidity can lead to mildew, mold, and musty odors if you're not careful. Make sure your RV is clean and completely dry before storage. Open all cabinets, prop open the fridge, and consider placing moisture absorbers or dehumidifier packs throughout the interior.
Next up: ventilation. It might seem odd to leave vents cracked, but with vent covers or solar-powered fans, you can help keep air circulating. This simple trick helps reduce condensation build-up on those extra-sticky days.
Seal up any gaps or known leaks—both on the roof and around windows. South Georgia’s pop-up storms and sticky weather can find their way in fast if your RV isn’t sealed tight.
Now let’s talk about the sun. Our Georgia sun can do a number on your RV’s roof, tires, and paint. We recommend using tire covers and a high-quality RV cover to shield your rig from UV damage. Don’t forget to check tire pressure before and after storage to avoid flat spots or dry rot.
Unplug and disconnect your batteries or consider using a trickle charger. Extreme temps and long idle times can kill batteries quicker than you’d think.
