1. Choose the Right Storage Type
Whether you need indoor self-storage units or outdoor RV/boat/commercial trailer/ vehicle parking, selecting the right type protects your belongings from weather and damage.
2. Clean and Prepare Items Before Storing
Always clean and dry your furniture, boxes, or vehicles before storing. For vehicles, wash and dry to prevent corrosion and mold.
