Storage Tips

At Big Rig Rest Stop, we’re committed to helping you get the most out of your outdoor parking space in Lawton, OK. Whether you're parking a semi-truck trailer, RV, boat, or personal vehicle, follow these expert tips to protect your property and make storage stress-free.

1. Measure Your Vehicle Before Renting
Our large, flexible parking spaces accommodate a wide range of vehicles, but it's still a good idea to measure your unit to ensure the best fit.

2. Use a Weather-Resistant Cover
Protect your RV, boat, or vehicle from sun, wind, and rain with a durable, weatherproof cover—especially important in Oklahoma’s changing weather conditions.

3. Secure All Doors & Hatches
Before leaving your unit, make sure all compartments, doors, and windows are locked. For added protection, install a heavy-duty lock.

4. Disconnect Batteries for Long-Term Storage
If you won’t be accessing your vehicle for a while, disconnecting the battery can help prevent drainage and extend battery life.

5. Check Tire Pressure Regularly
Fluctuating temperatures can affect tire pressure. Check and adjust your tires when arriving or before heading back out on the road.

6. Keep It Clean
Wash your vehicle before parking to remove dirt and road grime. Clean interiors can also prevent mold, pests, and odors during storage.

7. Visit Anytime—24/7 Access
Thanks to our 24/7 gated access, you can check in on your vehicle at your convenience. It’s your space—use it when you need it.

8. Use Chocks or Wheel Locks
Especially for trailers and RVs, wheel chocks or locks help prevent unwanted rolling and add an extra layer of security.

9. Avoid Storing Valuables
While our facility is protected by security cameras and computer-controlled gate entry, we recommend removing personal valuables from your unit when possible.

10. Keep Contact Info Updated
Make sure we have your current phone number and email, so we can reach you if needed. Questions? Give us a call at (580) 875-8008.

With these simple steps, you’ll keep your investment safe, secure, and ready for the road whenever you are. Rent your space at Big Rig Rest Stop in Lawton, OK, today!
