Storing a caravan or boat over winter: a short checklist

August 13, 2026 · by ScintillawpThemes

Drive-up storage units along a wide surfaced parking lane

Every October the south lot fills up, and every April a handful of people discover their battery is dead. Most of that is avoidable in an afternoon.

  • Drain the water system completely, including the heater and the taps.
  • Book a bay with a trickle-charge point, or take the battery home.
  • Leave cupboards and the fridge propped open so air moves through.
  • Over-inflate the tyres slightly and move the van a metre once mid-winter.
  • Take out anything that a mouse would consider food, including soap.

The first six bays in the south lot have charge points and there is a wash tap by the south fence for the day you collect it.
