Why a Coastal RV Needs Extra Care

People come to this coast for good reasons. The Cumberland Island National Seashore covers nearly 18 miles of undeveloped beach that is a must-see if you live or are passing through the area. St Marys is beautiful to explore, whether you are camping or just visiting for the day.

But the coastal air that draws you in can also wreak havoc on your vehicles over time without the proper care. Even a few miles from the beach, the air can carry salt, and the marsh keeps things damp.

A camper parked in a driveway takes in that moisture day after day, along with sun and the sand tracked in from your last trip. Over time, owners often notice grime on seals, stiff slide-out parts, and rust on metal. A covered parking space, especially, cuts down that exposure.

How to Choose RV Storage in St Marys, GA

Measure your rig. Measure the length, width, and full height, including the roof air conditioner, antennas, and vents. Add a little room so you can pull in and out without a tight turn. Write those numbers down before you call or visit any facilities.
Security is a large part of the storage decision. Look for a storage facility that is fenced and gated, with keypad access controls entry at the gate. It should offer security camera monitoring and monitored gate access.
Ask questions before you rent. Ask whether the surface is paved or gravel, since gravel can kick up more dust. Ask about washing on site, the access hours for your trip, and whether you can keep the same space each time. You can call our team at 912-576-1776 with any of these questions.

Protecting Your RV Between Trips

Salt and sand do not look like a big deal on the drive home. They do their damage slowly, though. The table below shows where they tend to cause trouble and what to do before you park.

Area	What Salt and Sand Can Do	What to Do Before Storage
Hitch and Frame	Start to rust	Rinse with fresh water and let it dry
Seals and Gaskets	Collect grime and wear faster	Wipe clean and check for cracks
Slide-out Tracks	Grind and stick	Brush out sand and lubricate as your owner’s manual advises
Lights and Wiring	Corrode at connections	Rinse gently and check connections
Underside	Builds up salt film	Rinse thoroughly with fresh water
Interior	Traps tracked-in sand and damp air	Vacuum sand and let the inside dry

How to Prepare Your RV for Storage

A reset routine makes storage and maintenance much easier.

When you return from a trip, rinse the outside and underside with fresh water, vacuum out the sand, and clear out any perishable food.
Then prepare for the next trip before you leave the lot. Keep a sealed go-bin in the RV with items you need on every trip, such as paper towels, flashlights, chargers, and a first aid kit.
Tape a short checklist inside a cabinet door covering tire pressure, hitch, lights, and water.
Back the rig in so your first move next time is straight ahead.
Keep a small notebook with the date of your last roof check and your tire ages. You will want those numbers when it is time to plan repairs.

Planning Long-Term RV Storage

Some vehicle owners need to leave for months at a time. Military families and seasonal residents may face moves or extended trips. Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, the east coast home of the Navy’s Ohio-class submarine force, is close by, so families connected to the base may plan around deployments and moves. If you will be away for a long stretch, plan your storage before you go.

Start by asking the office who can access your space while you are away, and see whether you can add another authorized person to your account. Our online bill pay option can help you keep payments on schedule while you travel. Leave copies of your registration and insurance with someone you trust, and tell that person where your spare keys are kept.

Before you leave, walk through your RV checklist once more. Check the tires, fuel, and battery, and remove perishable food. A few minutes of planning can save a lot of trouble when you return.
