Repairing severe weather damage
If your tow vehicle or RV becomes an unlucky
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.
Be aware of the heat index if camping during
hot weather. Keep yourself hydrated, and try
to stay indoors in an air-conditioned area
during a high heat index warning.

INDOW
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.
•
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.
•
Egress window must be locked during
transit.
Do not remove the following label from your
RV:
Familiarize yourself with the following
weather terms:
Warning
- Indicates that a particular
weather hazard is either imminent or has
been reported. A warning indicates the
need to take action to protect life and
property. Move to a safe location
immediately. The type of hazard is
reflected in the type of warning (i.e.,
tornado warning, blizzard warning, etc.).

AFETY
At best, a fire in your RV can delay or ruin a
vacation; at worst, it can mean injury, financial
loss, and even death.
•
Do not store combustible materials in
closed areas or near a heat source.
Watch - Indicates a particular hazard is
possible and that conditions are more
favorable than usual for its occurrence. A
watch is a recommendation for planning,
preparation and increased awareness (i.e.,
to be alert for changing weather, listen for
further information and think about what to
do if the danger materializes).
•
If a fire starts, execute your family safety
plan.
•
Do not attempt to use water to put out a
grease fire. Water can spread some
types of fire and create and electrocution
hazard during an electrical fire.
•
Always call the fire department, no
matter how small the fire.
However, be
aware that if a fire threatens your RV, you
should not place the call to your
emergency services from inside the RV. It
is better to get out first and place the call
from somewhere else.
