Why You Should Tow Your Trailer to Storage Before Winter Hits

As the temperature drops and the first snowfall approaches here in Kamloops, it’s time to start thinking about getting your trailer to its winter storage spot. Whether you’re storing an RV, boat trailer, or utility trailer, one thing’s for sure: waiting until snow and ice hit the roads can make towing a whole lot more dangerous. At Phil’s Towing, we’ve seen firsthand how early action can save you a lot of headaches (and repair costs) down the road.

The Importance of Towing Your Trailer Before Winter

Getting it there safely before winter weather strikes is essential, and here’s why:

1. Avoid the Hazards of Winter Roads

The roads around Kamloops can be unpredictable once winter arrives. Icy streets, heavy snowfall, and slippery conditions make towing a trailer even more challenging. By planning ahead and getting your trailer to storage early, you can avoid navigating treacherous winter roads, which is always a safer bet.

Even if you’re a confident driver, towing a trailer in the snow is a whole different story. The longer you wait, the more you risk encountering unsafe road conditions that could lead to accidents or damage to your trailer—and no one wants to deal with that right before the holidays.

2. Minimize Damage from Road Salt and Debris

If you’ve ever driven in winter, you know how much salt and grime can build up on your vehicle. The same goes for your trailer, especially during transport. Salt can cause rust and corrosion, which may leave you with a trailer in need of expensive repairs come spring.

By towing your trailer to storage before the city starts salting the roads, you can help prevent unnecessary damage from road debris. At Phil’s Towing, we make sure your trailer is properly prepped for transport to reduce exposure to these harmful elements.

3. Be Prepared Before Winter Hits

Getting your trailer safely into storage before winter isn’t just about avoiding snow and ice on the roads. It’s about being prepared. Delaying the move could put you in a tight spot later on, especially if a big snowstorm hits unexpectedly. If you wait too long, you might find yourself in need of a tow during some of the most dangerous driving conditions of the year.

Instead of scrambling to find someone to tow your trailer in the middle of a snowstorm, schedule a tow early and make sure your trailer is safely stored away before winter weather gets worse.

Let’s be honest—towing a trailer yourself takes time, and it’s not always easy, especially when winter weather complicates things.
