Winter Caravan Storage Mablethorpe | 5 Items You Shouldn’t Leave Inside

Protect your caravan this winter in Mablethorpe. Discover the top 5 caravan contents you shouldn’t leave inside over winter and how secure indoor storage can save you money and stress.

If you own a caravan in Mablethorpe or along the Lincolnshire coast, you’ll know how harsh the winter weather can be. Damp, frost and even theft can cause serious problems if you leave belongings inside your caravan for months at a time.

The good news? With the right preparation – and access to secure indoor storage in Mablethorpe – you can keep your caravan contents safe and in perfect condition ready for spring.

Here are the top 5 items you should always remove and store safely over winter.

1. Soft Furnishings (Cushions, Mattresses & Curtains)

Caravans are prone to condensation in cold weather. Cushions, mattresses and curtains quickly absorb moisture, leading to mould, mildew and unpleasant odours. Replacing soft furnishings can cost hundreds of pounds.

👉 Storage Tip: Use indoor caravan storage in Mablethorpe to keep soft furnishings dry and fresh.

2. Electrical Appliances

From TVs and kettles to microwaves and heaters, electrical items are highly vulnerable to damp and frost. Moisture can corrode internal parts and leave your appliances unsafe.

👉 Storage Tip: Pack appliances into boxes and place them in a secure, temperature-controlled unit.

3. Clothing & Bedding

Leaving duvets, pillows or clothing in your caravan over winter is asking for trouble. These items are particularly prone to mould and will quickly develop a musty smell.

👉 Storage Tip: Vacuum-pack clothes and bedding before storing them in an indoor locker or walk-in unit.

4. Outdoor & Leisure Equipment

BBQs, fishing gear, camping chairs, even bicycles – all are tempting targets for opportunistic thieves if left in or around your caravan. They also rust and degrade faster in damp conditions.

👉 Storage Tip: Place valuable outdoor gear in CCTV-monitored storage to reduce theft risk.

5. Food & Toiletries

Even sealed tins and dry foods can attract pests if left inside. Cleaning fluids, toiletries and sprays may freeze or leak, damaging your caravan’s interior.

👉 Storage Tip: Clear out cupboards completely and keep items indoors.
