How to Store Your RV Between Trips (Without Costly Damage)

June 2026 · 4 min read

An RV that sits between trips needs a little care, or Texas heat, humidity, and pests will do real damage. Here’s how to store it right.

Seal It up — but Let It Breathe

Close everything against rain and rodents, but use vent covers and moisture absorbers inside to fight humidity and mildew.

Protect the Tires

Texas sun cooks tires. Cover them, keep them inflated to spec, and move the rig occasionally to avoid flat spots.

Care for the Batteries

Disconnect them or use a battery maintainer so they don’t drain and sulfate over months of sitting.

Keep Critters Out

Mice and wasps love a parked RV. Block gaps, remove all food, and check the furnace and water-heater vents.

Covered vs. Open Storage

A carport or cover dramatically reduces sun and weather damage. If you store outside, a quality RV cover pays for itself.
