How to Store Your RV or Trailer for the Off-Season in Alberta
Alberta’s RV season may be short, but it’s something locals look forward to all year. When summer wraps up, it’s important to store your RV or trailer properly to keep it in good condition through the colder months.
At Legal Self Storage, we offer affordable outdoor RV and trailer parking with 24/7 access and new security upgrades — and now, we’re offering 50% off your first 2 months for RV/boat storage.
Before you park for the season, here’s what to do.
Step 1: Clean It Inside and Out
A full clean ensures your vehicle is fresh and ready when you return.
Exterior: Wash off bugs, dust, and road grime. Wax if possible to protect the finish.
Interior: Empty the fridge, clean counters, and vacuum floors. Remove any food or perishables.
Step 2: Drain and Disconnect
Freezing temps can damage internal systems if your RV isn’t properly winterized.
Drain all water lines and tanks.
Add RV antifreeze to plumbing (especially important in Alberta’s cold climate).
Disconnect and remove batteries to prevent drain and corrosion.
Step 3: Protect Your Tires and Seals
Long-term parking can be hard on rubber and seals if ignored.
Inflate tires to the correct pressure.
Cover the tires if storing for several months.
Seal windows and roof vents to prevent moisture from entering.
Step 4: Choose a Reliable Storage Facility
Location, access, and security matter when choosing where to store.
