One of the more serious conditions you need
to take into account when camping is that of
the weather, which is subject to change with
little or no warning. Earthquakes, hail,
flooding, hurricanes, wintry weather,
tornadoes - these and other extreme weather
conditions can threaten your safety and
damage your tow vehicle or RV.
Local radio and TV stations normally
broadcast weather conditions and warnings
as they occur. Research other methods of
learning about severe weather conditions and
how to deal with them. You may want to
consider investing in a weather radio.
Weather radios offer 24 hour-a-day VHF
broadcasts of weather observations and
forecasts directly from the US National
Weather Service. The frequencies used by
the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) weather radio stations
are 162.400, 162.425, 162.450, 162.475,
162.500, 162.525 or 162.550 megahertz or
visit their website at
www.noaa.gov
.
Repairing severe weather damage
If your tow vehicle or RV becomes a victim of
severe weather damage, you will most likely
need repair work. Call your insurance
company as soon as you can to report your
claim.

The emergency egress window is designed to
allow quick exit from the RV during an
emergency if access to the main entrance
door is not available. Practice opening the
egress window before an emergency occurs,
and make sure all occupants know how to
operate it. Do not remove the following label
from your RV:
Figure 1 Exit window decal
When pulling into your campsite, make sure
your egress is not blocked by trees or other
obstacles. Verify the area below the window
is over solid ground that can be used as an
escape path.
During severe weather conditions move
indoors to a place of safety or shelter as
directed by the campground or appropriate
authorities. Avoid trees or power lines that
could fall on your vehicle. The safest place
during severe weather conditions is inside
a basement or storm shelter, not an RV or
tow vehicle.
