and out-of-the-way places. These recreational areas can
be vulnerable to unusual and severe weather conditions.
The following suggestions and safety precautions may
help you in case you find yourself in severe weather
situations.
•
BE ALERT. Thunderstorms and heavy rains can occur
suddenly and unexpectedly. Frequently check
weather reports for the area in which you are
camping or travelling so you will not be caught
unaware of sudden weather changes.

•
When camping near a body of water, leave plenty of
space and elevation between your motorhome and
the water.
•
Avoid canyons or dry washes during threatening
weather. Prepare an alternate exit, and move to
higher ground as soon as it starts raining.

If you get caught in a flash flood, do not attempt to

system. Both the front and rear turn signals flash in unison

or removed from the ignition.
