How to Prepare Your RV for Winter Storage in New Jersey
A step-by-step guide to cleaning and protecting your RV or motorhome before winter storage in New Jersey, including oxidation, roofs, interiors and ceramic coating.
The end of camping season is the most important time to detail your RV. Dirt, bug residue and moisture left on the exterior over a New Jersey winter can stain paint and gel coat, and anything left inside can turn into mold or odors by spring.
Exterior: clean, correct, protect
- Wash the whole rig. Sides, front, rear, wheels and exterior glass, with bug and road-film removal. Our RV Exterior Wash starts at $10/ft.
- Check for oxidation. If the finish looks chalky or faded, it is oxidized. One-Step Polish + Sealant ($35/ft) restores gloss and light oxidation; Heavy Oxidation Restoration ($50/ft) handles severe cases.
- Seal it. An Exterior Detail + Sealant ($18/ft) adds 4–6 months of protection, which carries you through storage.
- Consider ceramic. An RV Ceramic Coating ($85/ft) protects large painted and gel-coat surfaces for far longer and makes spring cleaning much easier.
Roofs and slide-outs can be added; they cost extra when access or setup is significant.
Interior: dry, clean, odor-free
Our RV Interior Detail ($12/ft) covers vacuuming, floors, the cockpit, living areas, kitchen and bathroom surfaces, interior glass and light stain treatment. Before storage:
- Remove food and anything that can attract pests.
- Leave cabinets and the fridge propped open to prevent odors.
- Make sure fabrics are dry before closing up.
