I have a few pieces of soft side (and some hard side) luggage that I'd be bringing down with me, but will they get damaged being stored there? Am I safer just wrapping them in plastic and storing them in the garage proper?

Thanks!

I have lived in FL for 51 years. My last house had an attic you could walk around in like a large room. We stored EVERYTHING in it and never had anything damaged or melted. Our teeny tiny attic now has our luggage, Xmas decor, baby books and items, and a few other items being stored for future grandchildren and nothing is damaged or ever been damaged. I think that when suitcases fall apart, it has nothing to do with heat. My brand new one was damaged in transit by handlers. It never even made it to my attic. 🙄
