Trailer Storage
What, if anything do you guys do when you store your race car trailer for the winter. We have a new trailer and are looking for indoor storage but, if it has to be left outside, what do you guys do to prepare it for the winter?

Re: Trailer Storage
Park it with the wheels on one side up on lumber so water doesn't pool on the roof.

Re: Trailer Storage
I charge and disconnect my batteries, air tires, re-pack wheel bearings so I'm good to go in the spring and place Bounce dryer sheets in several locations inside the trailer (keeps critters away) and smells a lot better than moth balls. Never had an issue yet. I do keep it inside a pole barn though to keep all the MN snow off of it.

Re: Trailer Storage
If its going to be outside wash it real good with RV455 then regular car wash soap then wax it with a good wax. It works great for preventing Black streaks.

Re: Trailer Storage
I unhook the truck so I can have a 4x4 to get me to work when it snows. winter 2004-2005 car never came out of trailer. In fact was not even unstrapped. I drained the water in the trailer thanksgiving night. I unloaded it on Thur. unbolted the rear wheels took them in & had new slicks put on...loaded the car back up & left the next morning for Farmington Div. In March
