When the camping season winds down on the Connecticut and Rhode Island shoreline, the RV still needs a place to sit until the next trip. For a lot of owners near Westerly, RI, the driveway is too tight, the street has rules about parking a camper, or the rig simply takes up too much of the yard. WES STOR offers outdoor RV storage at 7 Elmata Ave in Pawcatuck, CT, just across the Pawcatuck River from Westerly and minutes off I-95. This guide covers what RV storage costs, who it fits, how to choose a spot, how to get the RV ready, and how to reserve.

How to choose an RV storage spot near Mystic and Westerly
A few questions make the choice simple.
- Outdoor or covered? WES STOR offers outdoor RV storage only. Outdoor spots keep the price down, so plan on a good fitted RV cover for the winter months.
- When can you get to it? Some lots only open during office hours. At WES STOR, renters have gated access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so an early start on a camping weekend is never a problem.
- How secure is it? Look for a gate, lighting and cameras. WES STOR has all three.
- Is anyone there? The office at WES STOR is staffed Monday to Friday, 9 to 4, by a real person, not a call center.
- How far is it from home? The closer the lot, the more you will actually use the RV. Pawcatuck is minutes from Westerly, Stonington and Mystic, and just off I-95.
Getting your RV ready for storage
A little prep before you drop the RV off saves money and headaches in spring. Every rig is different, so follow your owner’s manual first.
- Empty the tanks. Drain and flush the fresh, gray and black water tanks.
- Protect the plumbing before the first hard freeze. In southeastern Connecticut and southern Rhode Island, freezing nights are common from late fall through early spring, so winterize the water lines as your manual directs.
- Clean out the fridge and pantry. Remove all food and leave the fridge door propped open to prevent odors and mildew.
- Take care of the battery. Disconnect it, or take it home and keep it on a charger.
- Check the tires. Inflate to the recommended pressure and chock the wheels once parked.
- Take valuables home. Electronics, documents, keys and anything you would not want to replace.
- Close it up and cover it. Shut vents and windows, lower the shades, and put on a fitted cover.
If you also have a boat to put away, the same lot handles that too. See the guide to winter boat storage in Pawcatuck, CT and Westerly, RI for a boat prep checklist.
