My motorhome was a "lifesaver" (somewhat) when I first moved to New Mexico from California seven years ago.
I lived in it while waited for the movers to bring my belongings for about 12 days. My cat Sierra and I were comfortable during that period, which occasionally saw a few snowstorms come through.
But, if a disaster is impending, an RV could be the lifesaver for families. Thankfully, I have not had to use mine for disaster evacuations.
That is the topic of an article in Do It Yourself RV.
They begin it with:
An RV evacuation plan isn’t exactly what most RVers imagine. It might sound straightforward, but in reality, it’s one of the most fluid and adaptable things you’ll ever need to create.
Think about it: hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, tornadoes in the Midwest, avalanches in the mountain states, nor’easters in New England, wildfires and earthquakes along the West Coast, flash floods and dust storms in the Southwest, and heatwaves in the South. Every region comes with its own challenges, and no two scenarios are ever the same.
And that’s just the beginning. Add in the unpredictability of life—changing routes, local laws, your RV’s size and fuel needs—and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. So, is an RV evacuation plan even possible? Or is it just filler to make us feel prepared?
Here’s the truth: an effective RV evacuation plan is less about perfection and more about preparation. Stick with me, and we’ll walk through the steps to turn your RV into a lifeline, no matter what comes your way.
