Extreme weather can strike at any time, even while you are enjoying an RV trip. While you shouldn’t let fear prevent you from enjoying a trip, you also shouldn’t ignore the risk. That’s why Liberty RV has created this guide to dealing with extreme weather in your RV.
Check the Forecast and News Alerts
The last thing you want is for extreme weather to catch you off guard. Regularly check news alerts and forecasts for signs of extreme weather. If you receive a warning about extreme weather in the area in which you are camping, be ready to take appropriate action.
Your Emergency Plan
Have an emergency plan so that everyone knows what they need to do if extreme weather strikes. Assign specific jobs, like pulling in outdoor furniture and checking up on pets, and have an evacuation plan in case you need to leave the area quickly.
Understanding the RV Risk
The unfortunate truth is that in some situations you may need to temporarily abandon your RV for safety reasons. For example, some trailers may tip over when subjected to hurricane-strength winds. Always go with the safest shelter possible, even if that is not your camper.
With the right preparations, you can keep yourself and your family safe from extreme weather, even during an RV trip. For more information, or to view our selection of RVs for sale, visit Liberty RVonline or at our dealership in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We look forward to serving you!
