RV Maintenance: Refreshing Your Unit for Summer Travel

On any crisp winter day in the Foothills, if you’re extra quiet, you just might hear the distinct call of the Albertan RVer: Is it Spring Yet? Yes, the snow may still be falling, but if you’re an avid camper or traveller you’ve probably been using your winter months to plan your summer getaway. After all, there’s no better way to escape the February cold than by dreaming of July, am I right? Uncle Bob’s Self Storage understands that preparation is the key to a perfect summer, so whether you’re a new RV owner ready to hit the road, or you’ve been doing this for years, taking a few moments to review the steps to removing your trailer or camper from self-storage will save you a ton of headaches – and time – when you’re heading out for the weekend. Here are a few quick and easy ways to ensure your RV, trailer or camper is ready when you come to pick it up: Exterior Inspection Our covered RV storage units protect your RV from snow and UVs, but it’s nevertheless an excellent idea to perform a visual inspection for any cracks or leaks.

Lights: Double check that all LEDs or bulbs are functioning properly, including turn signals, brake lights, and side and front markers.
