Protect your beloved summer vehicles by preparing them for the wraths of winter.
Fall is officially here: The days are shorter and the nights are cooler. As you begin your autumnal planning and packing, be sure that you remember to prepare your summer vehicles for the winter. Whether you have a boat, motorcycle or RV, the following tips can help you get your summer toys ready for winter and stored securely!
- Clean both the inside and outside of your vehicles while the temperatures are still pleasant outside. Apply a wax to prevent any rusting while sitting in storage over the winter months.
- For boats and RVs, remove all water from the boat's engine or RV's plumbing system. Use anti-freeze to prevent freezing and cracking where appropriate. Note that you should consult your vehicle's operation manual for further details.
- Disconnect and remove the battery from your motorized toys and store it in a cool, dry place. Throughout the winter, recharge it regularly to ensure it will still hold a charge.
- Add a fuel stabilizer to your gas tank to avoid old fuel from damaging the motor.
- Check all tires and ensure they all have the right pressures.
- If your vehicle needs any repairs or maintenance, don't wait until next spring to do so.
- Review your insurance coverage to be sure that you and your vehicle are well protected!
Although your summer vehicles are not in use during the off-season, it's important to have year-round insurance coverage. Anything can happen to your beloved vehicles in storage, and insurance can help in the case of theft, fire, or damage. So that you can enjoy the last days of sun,
