Just because the temperatures drop doesn’t mean your recreational vehicle has to sit idle. Winter in the Kansas City area offers a surprising number of activities that make owning an RV, trailer, or gear hauler worthwhile year-round. From weekend getaways to outdoor adventure staging, here are 10 ways to make the most of winter with your recreational setup.

Whether you're headed to Arizona, the Gulf Coast, or the Florida Keys, your winter escape starts long before the drive — it starts with knowing what to leave behind.

When it comes to storing your RV, boat, or weekend trailer, you want more than just a spot in a gravel lot. Whether you're full-timing across the country, hauling toys for the weekend, or rotating seasonal gear, AP Garages offers a better kind of space. Here are 10 reasons our storage works for the way you travel, tow, and unwind.

When people think of storage units, they picture small, metal lockers filled with extra boxes or old furniture. But for contractors, tradespeople, and mobile pros, those kinds of units don’t cut it. AP Garages offers the space, power, access, and layout features that align with the demands of professionals who need more than just storage.

If you’re a contractor, you know the challenges of storing your gear. Cramped storage units, missing power access, no space to turn a trailer — it’s a daily hassle that cuts into your productivity. You need more than just a place to stash tools. You need secure, reliable, purpose-built space that works as hard as you do.

Your RV is more than a vehicle — it’s your ticket to freedom, adventure, and the open road. But when you're not traveling, you need a secure and reliable place to store it. That’s where RV park storage at All Purpose Garages in Overland Park, KS comes in. We offer convenient, covered RV storage designed to protect your investment and make your next trip as simple as pulling out and hitting the road.

The type of pad you use (gravel, dirt, or concrete) can directly impact the lifespan of your RV’s tires, the condition of your undercarriage, and even your seasonal maintenance costs.

Whether you own a boat, pontoon, or personal watercraft (PWC/jet ski), proper winterization is the key to protecting your investment. Cold Kansas winters can be tough on engines, fuel systems, and hulls.

As summer winds down, many RVs, boats, and collector cars are still parked in driveways, waiting for “one more outing.” But by late fall, premium storage spaces are scarce. The owners who get the most out of their investments don’t wait until the first frost—they reserve storage in September.

Not all storage options are the same. If you’re keeping your RV outside through a Kansas winter, you’ll face a long list of prep tasks to guard against snow, ice, and UV damage. If you choose enclosed storage at All Purpose Garages in Overland Park, your to-do list is shorter—and your RV stays cleaner, safer, and easier to get rolling again in spring.
