Car Storage Unit Port Macquarie

Before placing your caravan in long-term storage, it’s important to clean the interior and exterior thoroughly to prevent mould, corrosion, and pest infestations. Drain water tanks and disconnect gas bottles to avoid pressure build-up. 

Empty the fridge and cupboards, leave doors slightly ajar for ventilation, and remove all perishables. Disconnect the battery or use a maintainer, and inflate tyres to the recommended pressure. Check seals, cover roof vents, and use a breathable cover if stored outdoors. Inspect the caravan periodically to prevent small issues from becoming major problems.

Outdoor boat storage is safe if the right precautions are taken. Boats should be cleaned thoroughly to prevent salt and mildew buildup. Use a high-quality, UV-resistant cover that fits securely to protect from sun, rain, and debris. Drain any water from the bilge, engine, and water systems to avoid freezing or mould. Remove valuable electronics or personal items. While outdoor storage is more affordable than indoor options, it exposes your boat to weathering, so regular maintenance is still important throughout the storage period.

Yes, many boat storage spaces are suitable for cars, especially if the facility allows multi-purpose use. These spaces are usually large, covered or uncovered hardstand areas that can easily accommodate a car, trailer, or SUV.

However, confirm dimensions and ground surface to ensure your car fits securely and won’t suffer from exposure or moisture buildup. Be sure to take basic car storage precautions such as covering the vehicle, disconnecting the battery, and inflating the tyres for long-term stays.
