EMERGENCIES
Emergency Preparation.
Keep an emergency first aid kit in your camper. A separate kit with essential
tools and supplies should also be compiled. These may come in handy in some emergencies as well as
for any type of troubleshooting that may arise. The tools suitable for your needs may depend largely on
how much boondocking or cold weather camping you do. Boondock camping may take you far away
from the nearest service station and so be prepared to do some of your own maintenance. A common
list of items needed for emergencies, troubleshooting and maintenance is as follows:
Adjustable Wrench

Weather Emergencies.
When it comes to recreational activities, weather can be the number one factor
affecting your enjoyment of the great outdoors. Be prepared for any type of weather emergencies
when traveling with your camper. The following may be helpful in addressing such emergencies:
• Develop a disaster plan for all occupants. Everyone should know what to do in severe weather.
Different types of weather will call for different responses so be familiar with each.
• Know if the campground has a designated shelter area in case of severe weather. When you
arrive at a campground, ask management what to do in case of weather emergency and where
the designated shelter area is located. If the campground is unstaffed, there are probably
no weather emergency provisions made for that campground. Be prepared with your
own emergency weather plan.
• Find a local radio or TV station that broadcasts weather. In case of power loss, keep an
emergency grade battery-operated radio with extra batteries available.
• Invest in a weather radio. A weather radio will give you access to 24-hour VHF weather
broadcasts from the US National Weather Service.
• Research and educate yourself on weather safety. Visit the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration website at
www.noaa.gov
to learn more.
Roadside Emergencies
. Roadside emergencies can occur at any given time while traveling. The
following guidelines will help you resume travel faster in the case of a roadside emergency:
1. To obtain service, locate your nearest authorized nuCamp dealer using our “Find a Dealer”
feature on the website at
www.nucamprv.com
.
2. If you cannot find an authorized dealer in close proximity to your location, you may try:
• Searching online for a service center near you.
• Asking campground staff for service centers nearby.
• Acquiring a local Yellow Pages phone book and check for RV service centers.
• Contacting the dealer you bought your trailer from.
• Contacting nuCamp Customer Service.
3. Upon locating a Service Center have the camper repaired. Unless you are still in the warranty
period of your camper you will be responsible for repair costs. If you believe you qualify for
warranty coverage, please have the repair center contact the nuCamp Warranty Department by
phone at
844-823-9112
or email at
for pre-approval of repair coverage.
4. If you have an emergency repair on a weekend, after business hours or on a holiday when
nuCamp Warranty Department personnel are not available, take the initial steps and find
your nearest dealer. Should the situation be dire in nature, where it materially affects your
ability to camp or operate your camper, please have it repaired and then contact the Warranty
Department during normal business hours to acquire coverage approval. (Note: nuCamp
does not guarantee any repairs are eligible for warranty coverage until approval is given through
the Warranty Department.)
