Storage security is a very important issue when it comes to finding a place to store your RV. A consumer who is interested in storing their RV should first do their research and make sure to check if their chosen storage facility is secure enough.

However, if you really want to go the extra mile to keep your vehicle safe, there are small steps you can take. Simple tips that will surely make you feel more confident.

Tip #1: Make sure the doors are closed

This may seem much simpler than a person expects. However, it is well known that the first thing anyone should do when parking their vehicle anywhere, in order to keep it safe, is to lock it. Simply pressing that lock button may not deter a professional thief who arrived well prepared, but enough to deter many who might want to cause damage to your vehicle.

Tip #2: Have you ever heard of steering wheel lock?

One of the best things a customer can do is put a steering wheel lock on their RV steering wheel. A steering wheel lock is a bar-like device that can be adjusted to fit the steering wheel and prevent it from moving. The device is very simple and is manufactured by many companies. This type of device can be a bit cumbersome to use, they are a great find for thieves.

Tip #3: Drain your gas

Another tip that works to prevent thieves from taking your prized vehicle is to empty the gas tank before parking your RV. A vehicle can’t run without gasoline, so any thief who wants to leave with your RV won’t be able to get anywhere.

Tip #4: Canvas

Putting a tarp over your RV will not only protect your vehicle from the elements, but it will also deter thieves because thieves want easy access to what they are stealing. Putting a tarp over your RV makes the thief perceive that accessing the vehicle will take longer. So a nefarious person probably wouldn’t want to mess with an RV with a tarp over it.

There is no way that you can be perfectly sure that your RV will be safe while it is in storage. However, by taking a few precautions, you can greatly reduce the risk of damage to your precious vehicle.
