The Best Fall RV Trips

Winter RV storage isn't too far away, but you're not ready to slow down just yet. The cooler temperatures are starting to feel just right. Leaves are on their way to becoming brilliant with autumn colors. You can put everything into your Harvey, LA, self storage unit later. It is time to hit the open road and enjoy these fantastic fall RV trips:

Head North to Maine

The best fall RV trips feature wonderful changes of scenery. Make it happen in Maine with a stay in Arcadia National Park. Immerse yourself in the beauty of spruce and fir forests. Bask on sandy beaches and climb rocky cliffs. Travel back to the 1800s with a tour of Arcadia's historic lighthouses on Mount Desert Island.

Explore Caverns in Kentucky

Deep beneath Kentucky's bluegrass lies a cavernous underground world. Drive your RV to Mammoth Cave National Park and take the plunge. Rangers lead the way as you explore the Mammoth Dome and Bottomless Pit. Nearby RV sites offer late-year camping and fishing fun along some of Kentucky's most scenic rivers.

Relax on Florida Beaches

Count on world-class beach combing just 40 miles west of Orlando at Florida's Cocoa Beach. Slide south down the Space Coast to Vero Beach for even more relaxing RV fun. Take your time. The friendly people and beautiful sights in Florida make it easy to extend your autumn vacation in the Sunshine State.

Drive Across Texas

Not many fall RV trips cover canyons, islands, and mountain ranges. Start an unforgettable journey at Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas High Plains. Ease on south to Galveston Island for a little fishing. Finish your Lone Star RV adventure out west in the majestic Fort Davis Mountains.

Cruise the California Coast

California's Pacific Coast Highway belongs on every end-of-season vacation wish list. The celebrated route includes RV camping in Big Sur. Hike down seaside cliffs. Walk the unspoiled sands of Pfeiffer Beach. Finish your coastal cruise at the edge of Big Sur's magnificent 80-foot McWay Falls.

Stay Ready for Next Year

Everyone who loves the RV life loves to travel year-round. Still, that faithful home on wheels deserves a winter break. When you are done with fall expeditions, it's time to treat the camper right with Safeguard’s outdoor RV storage in Harvey, LA. With our newly redesigned fenced parking area which includes new asphalt, bright LED lighting, a variety of extra-wide parking spaces, and some with drive-thru access (no backing in or out required), you can feel comfortable with your RV stored with us until you hit the open road again next year.

 

It’s Boating Season in Louisiana!

It is finally time to take your beloved boat out onto the Bayou State’s beautiful and plentiful waterways, and you will not be alone as your watercraft will be joined by more than 300,000 others. With all of those boats on the water, it is important to make sure that you are safe out there.

One of the most important things that you can do is ensure that you have the required safety equipment on board. For example, there needs to be at least one serviceable personal flotation device for every person on the boat. Other safety equipment that should be on board includes distress signals, fire extinguishers and navigation lights.

It is also important to ensure that your boat is operated safely once it is on the water. It is illegal and dangerous to weave through congested traffic or to operate a watercraft in a reckless manner.  Also, be courteous to other boaters by not creating wakes and also avoid fishermen and swimmers whenever possible.

Obviously, make sure to not drink and drive as the dangers and penalties for doing so while operating a boat are similar to those involved with driving a car while under the influence.

Once you are finished having fun on the water, it is important to have proper boat storage, Safeguard Self Storage would be glad to help you out. If you are looking for Baton Rouge LA storage, a Metairie LA storage unit rental, Marrero storage units or a Harvey self storage, Safeguard can help you protect your investment with boat storage. We offer a total of eight convenient self storage locations, six in the New Orleans Metro Area and two in Baton Rouge. 

When you are ready to utilize boat storage, it is important to make sure that you get a space that will be large enough to comfortably fit your boat and trailer. Your watercraft should also be fully supported whenever it is out of the water. Important areas to focus on here are the bulkheads, engines and keel. In addition, scrubbing its decks and hull and ensuring that it is not stored with any barnacles, gunk or slime will help your boat remain in top shape for as long as possible. 

Once your boat is cleaned and ready to be stored, find a Safeguard Self Storage location convenient for you. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will happy to help you store your boat in an enclosed storage unit or in one of your outdoor storage lots so you can use it for many summers to come.
