Can’t Miss Insurance for Your College Student
The cool fall weather means that it is unfortunately time to put away all of your summer toys. Keep these tips in mind when storing your RV and boat for winter to make sure that they are ready to go when the weather heats back up again.
For your boat:
- Thoroughly wash both the inside and the outside of your boat. Look for any cracks in the hull that need to be fixed before storing your boat.
- Take out anything that can be damaged by the cold weather, including your GPS, radio, life jackets, flares, and fire extinguisher. Make sure to store them in a cool, dry place to ensure that they are ready for the next boating season.
- Completely fill up the gas tank to ensure that they are not damaged from condensation while the boat is sitting. Also make sure to add a fuel stabilizer to prevent the fuel from damaging the gas tank.
For your RV:
- Clean both the inside and the outside of your RV. Wax the outside to help prevent it from getting dirty while it is sitting in storage.
- Clean out all the food from the cabinets and refrigerator. Leave the door of the fridge slightly open to allow air to circulate through.
- Turn off the propane at the source and make sure the pilot light is out.
- Empty all of the water tanks, both the fresh water and gray water, including the water heater.
Even though you will not be enjoying your summer toys this fall, it is still important to make sure that they have the right amount of coverage with the right insurance policies.
