Proper storage is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your trailer power station when not in use. Whether storing for seasonal changes or extended periods, following these guidelines will help prevent damage and ensure reliable operation when needed.
Location Selection
Choose an appropriate storage location for your trailer power station:
Select a dry, well-ventilated indoor space when possible
If outdoor storage is necessary, use a waterproof cover designed for power equipment
Avoid areas with extreme temperature fluctuations
Ensure the storage surface is level and stable
Fuel System Preparation
Proper fuel management is critical for storage:
Add fuel stabilizer to prevent degradation during storage
Run the generator for 5-10 minutes to circulate treated fuel through the system
For long-term storage (3+ months), consider draining the fuel tank completely
Always follow manufacturer recommendations for fuel treatment
Battery Maintenance
Preserve battery health during storage:
Disconnect the battery to prevent drainage
Store batteries in a cool, dry place if removing from the unit
Maintain charge levels by periodic charging (every 2-3 months)
Clean terminals before storage to prevent corrosion
Protection from Elements
Shield your trailer power station from environmental damage:
Cover air intakes and exhaust ports to prevent pest intrusion
Use breathable covers that allow moisture to escape
Elevate the unit slightly if storing on damp surfaces
Check periodically for signs of moisture accumulation
Tire and Suspension Care
Maintain mobility components:
Inflate tires to recommended pressure
Consider using tire covers to prevent UV damage
Rotate tire positions every 3-6 months for even wear
Lubricate moving parts before storage
Periodic Maintenance During Storage
Even when not in use:
Run the generator monthly for 15-20 minutes under load when possible
Check fluid levels before each test run
Inspect for signs of pest activity or nesting
Keep maintenance records updated
Security Considerations
Protect your investment from theft:
Use hitch locks and wheel clamps
Park in secure, well-lit areas when possible
Consider installing a GPS tracking device
Remove valuable accessories if storing in unsecured locations
By following these storage practices, you can ensure your trailer power station remains in optimal condition during periods of inactivity. Proper preparation and periodic checks will significantly extend the equipment's service life and maintain its reliability for future use.
