Close all windows, vents, and sunroofs securely before storing your vehicle.

Inspect and seal roof seams and vents to help prevent leaks. Seal any openings that could allow pests inside.

Tip #5

Use tire covers to help protect tires from UV damage and premature cracking.

Tip #6

Use breathable covers designed specifically for RVs, boats, trailers, or vehicles to help reduce moisture buildup.

Inflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended PSI. Move the vehicle occasionally, if possible, to help prevent flat spots.
