Did you know today is #DoSomethingNiceDay? How can we observe the day? Do something nice. The something can be anything from buying a cup of coffee for someone in line at the coffee shop to giving a compliment to the tired clerk. Maybe the day calls for sending flowers with a card that says “just because,” or asking the neighbors over for a barbecue in the backyard or mowing the lawn for someone. We can all use more "nice" in our world, so let's make someone's day a little brighter!

It can be extremely hard to motivate yourself to pack if you happen to feel tired and you lack the energy to keep working on your packing tasks. Let’s face it – packing for a move is an exhausting project that will require plenty of effort to be completed successfully. And that’s exactly why it can easily turn into an impossible task if you’re not feeling well for some reason or another. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat healthy!

Dont Forget to Do that Fall Cleaning and Storage

Don't Forget to Declutter and Store Your Summer and Spring things with Us !!! Fall Storage Tips We all wish summer could last forever, but unfortunately, we know that’s not the case. It’s time to embrace the changing colors and the crunching sound of leaves among us. When cooler temperatures arrive, it is a good time to evaluate which tools, equipment or clothes won’t be used for the next several months. Fall is a great time for cleaning, organizing and storing. There are many belongings that simply aren’t used once winter arrives and it’s a great opportunity to clean out your summer items and store them away. When space is tight at home or in your garage, many people turn to self storage. It is an easy, short term solution to get things like your gardening tools, sports equipment, seasonal clothing, and more out of the way. As you look at what won’t be used for the next season, you can also determine if you’ve used an item at all. If it’s something that doesn’t suit you anymore, instead of storing it, set it aside to donate to someone who will use it. Next up, clean out your closets and wardrobes. Store away summer clothes and swimsuits and make room for heavier coats, sweaters, and styles for the cooler months. If your closet is large enough, rotate items that won’t be used now to harder to reach places and shift your fall fashion to the front. If your closet isn’t big enough for this, box up your summer pieces for self storage. Be sure your boxes have a detailed label of what’s in it. You’ll want to easily find your swimming suit if you plan on a winter vacation or the temps creep a little higher than normal! And finally, as part of your fall organization, you’ll want to tackle the garage. There are likely many items here that can be stored for the winter, including tillers, hedge trimmer’s gardening tools, and summer sports equipment, just to name a few. Removing these from your garage for the cooler months will reduce clutter and free up space for your car on those chilly mornings! If you don’t currently have a self storage unit to help with your fall storage and organization, feel free to contact: https://vigilantselfstorage.com/self-storage/ironbridge-self-storage We are here to help with all your storage needs and questions!

Don't Let Fall Catch You In the Cold 7 RV Winter Storage Tips RV storage should be on every camper owner’s mind now that winter is here. Have you incorporated any of these seven RV winter storage tips? Many RVs, campers, and motorhomes go into storage this time of the year. This is true for those who live in the Midwestern or Northeastern parts of the United States. Unless you travel all year long, you’re going to store your RV when the snow starts coming down. To help you do this, we’ve complied these seven RV storage solutions. Use them to help winterize your RV. 1) RV Water Tank Maintenance Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Frozen water inside your RV plumbing will freeze and break the fittings and lines. This is why it’s important to drain the RV water system before putting the camper into storage. To prepare for winter, drain your RV sewer tank and fresh water tank. Also drain the water from the pipes. Once you do this, it’s best to pump nontoxic specialty antifreeze through the water system. You can buy this antifreeze at your local RV dealer or online. Check your owner’s manual for more draining tips. 2) Check Windows, Doors, and Panels Remember our tips for fixing leaky RV windows? Winter is a good time to inspect your recreational vehicle’s windows, roof, and access panels. If you find any leaks, it’s time to caulk the holes and cracks you find. If you’re going to take the do-it-yourself approach, make sure you use the right sealant. It’s the only way to be sure that it sets properly and prevents water damage. Here are seven steps for fixing window leaks: 1. Locate the source of the leak. It might have missing caulk or holes in the existing caulking around this point. 2. Use a razor blade to remove old caulking from the edges of the window where you located the leak. 3. Once you remove the old caulking, clean the window frame with your favorite cleaner and sponge. 4. Once the area is dry, apply painter’s tape to cover the areas where you don’t want the caulk to attach. 5. Open the tube of sealer and cut a hole in its tip. Punch a hole in the tube’s membrane with a nail or similar object. Insert the sealant tube into the caulking gun. 6. Apply caulking around the edge of the window where the leak is located. Apply constant pressure on the trigger as you work, and avoid pauses. 7. Remove tape after caulk has dried for 24 hours. 3) Use Best RV Parking Practices Many RV owners put their vehicles in a professional storage location. For those who park their campers at home, you have to make sure you pick the right place to park. Given the height of most motorhomes, a shelter or roof isn’t always an option. If you’re going to park in your driveway, don’t do so beneath trees. Ice storms can send trees and branches crashing through your recreational vehicle. If you’re planning to park your RV in the street, check the parking regulations in your area. No one said that RV parking was going to be easy! 4) RV Covers are Your Friend RV covers can protect your camper against snow and ice. They also protect your camper against ultraviolet (UV) light, tree sap and bird droppings. Get an RV cover designed for your vehicle and follow the instructions for putting it on. This is the best way to keep out moisture. Speaking of RV covers, don’t forget ones that cover your camper’s tires. Also, remember to check your tires pressure to make sure each one has the required amount of air pressure. 5) RV Batteries Must be Disconnected If you’re storing your motorhome, be sure to disconnect the batteries. The next step is to store them in a cool, dry place. This slows down the loss of charge that happens with disconnected motorhome batteries. To make sure the battery keeps its charge over the winter, use a voltmeter to check it every four to six weeks. 6) RV Fuel Stabilizer a Must! Add an RV fuel stabilizer to your camper’s gas tank. It’s one of the best ways to protect your engine during the winter. Unused gas forms gummy deposits that damage an RV’s engine. RV fuel stabilizers prevent these deposits from forming. In most cases, adding this stabilizer to your RV fuel is as easy as these three steps: 1. Add RV fuel stabilizer to vehicle’s gas tank. 2. Fill the rest of the tank with fuel. 3. Start the engine and generator and let them run for five to 10 minutes. If you’re in doubt, read the directions on the back of the bottle. It’s also a good idea to change your RV oil and oil filter before putting your recreational vehicle in storage. 7) Prevent Rodent Damage to RV RVs left in storage are susceptible to damage from mice and other rodents. These pests destroy wires and other RV components. One of the best ways to reduce infestation is to remove the food that attract them. Clean your recreational vehicle’s refrigerator, freezer, shelves before putting it in storage. Here are six more tips to prevent rodent damage to your RV: 1. Seal your firewalls. You can place a simple piece of scrap metal over the gap to block this common entry point. 2. Remove the auxiliary power cable and closet he cable hatch, thus removing another entry point. 3. Seal water line access holes, as this is yet another common point of entry. 4. Some well-placed mousetraps inside your motorhome might take care of any mice or chipmunks that have already taken up residence inside. 5. Moth balls can be a great deterrent for rodents. Place several in a bowl and leave in various places throughout your motorhome. 6. An ultrasonic rodent and bug repeller provides an additional deterrent, if power outlets are available. You may also consider this underhood animal chaser to keep critters out of your engine block. If your camper has suffered rodent damage, check your motorhome insurance policy. If it doesn’t cover damage caused by pests, you can always shop the other RV insurance companies for a better plan and RV insurance rates. RV Winter Storage Tip: Don’t Set It and Forget It If you follow these RV storage ideas, your motorhome should have a safe and uneventful winter. Pop in on a regular basis to check for water penetration and other damage. If something occurred in storage, you can prevent the damage from becoming a bigger problem. Make regular checkups a regular part of your RV storage solutions. Also, you can always turn to your local RV dealer if your busy schedule prevents you from doing these RV winter storage tips yourself.
