To prepare your car for winter storage, there are several important steps to consider. First, give your car a thorough cleaning both inside and out to remove any accumulated dirt and protect its finish from potential winter damage. Remove all personal items from the vehicle to prevent them from being damaged or lost during the winter. Check and top off all fluid levels, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid, to avoid potential damage caused by low levels. Add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to prevent the fuel from breaking down and becoming stale. Inflate your tires to the recommended pressure to prevent flat spots from forming. Invest in a quality car cover to shield your vehicle from snow, ice, and freezing rain, and consider covering the wheels to prevent freezing and thawing damage. By following these steps, you can ensure your car remains in good condition and ready for use when needed.
If you plan to store your car during the winter, it’s important to take steps to protect your car’s battery. Here are some tips on how to protect your battery during winter car storage:
Wheeler’s RV Storage encourages responsible storage practices that adhere to environmental regulations. While storing an RV in a Seacan minimizes environmental impact by preventing leaks or spills, the facility might have guidelines regarding waste disposal, prohibiting the storage of hazardous materials or items that could pose environmental risks.
Storing RV batteries in a Seacan is generally permissible; however, it’s advisable to take specific precautions. Before storage, ensure the battery is fully charged and disconnected to prevent drainage. It’s also wise to periodically check the battery’s charge level during prolonged storage. Wheeler’s RV Storage might provide additional guidance or services for battery maintenance to prolong its lifespan.
Seacan storage at Wheeler’s RV Storage offers a unique advantage with its weather-resistant, steel containers. These Seacans provide an added layer of security and durability compared to conventional storage units. The use of steel ensures protection against external elements, enhancing the safety and preservation of stored RVs. Additionally, the facility’s focus on comprehensive security measures and accessibility sets it apart from other storage options in Edmonton.
Seacans offer some insulation but are not specifically designed for climate control. To mitigate temperature variations inside the container, Wheeler’s RV Storage may suggest additional measures, such as using dehumidifiers or insulating covers for RVs stored for extended periods.
Wheelers RV & Boat Storage imposes restrictions on storing hazardous materials, perishable items, live plants or animals, flammable substances, and illegal or illicit goods within seacans or any storage units. Additionally, items that may pose a risk to the environment or the safety of other stored belongings might be prohibited. It’s advisable to speak directly with our staff to understand specific restrictions or guidelines regarding what can and cannot be stored in a seacan at Wheelers RV & Boat Storage. Understanding these restrictions ensures compliance with storage regulations and the safety of both stored items and the facility’s environment.
Seacans or shipping containers, are designed to be weatherproof and generally withstand various weather conditions, including Edmonton’s climate. These containers are made of durable steel and constructed to be water-resistant, effectively shielding stored items from rain, snow, and wind. In Edmonton, where temperatures can fluctuate dramatically throughout the year, seacans demonstrate resilience against extreme cold temperatures and heavy snowfall. Their robust construction enables them to endure harsh weather elements like freezing temperatures and snow loads, ensuring a level of protection for the items stored inside. While they offer a degree of insulation against temperature fluctuations, it’s essential to note that seacans might experience some internal temperature changes in extreme weather conditions. Therefore, additional measures, such as insulation and periodic checks on stored items, can enhance protection within the container.
