⚠️ Early preparation matters. We were already seeing propane availability tighten before this system arrives.
When a major storm is approaching, RVers have a short window where the right decisions make all the difference.
This video breaks down how experienced RVers prepare before conditions turn dangerous, focusing on timing, positioning, and system readiness—not panic or guesswork.
Whether you’re full-time, part-time, or weekend camping, storms affect RVs differently than homes. Wind, water, power, and temperature changes can create problems fast if you wait too long.
In this video, I cover:
• How to decide stay vs move vs shelter
• What makes a safe RV storm position
• A universal RV storm prep checklist
• Power, water, and system readiness
• Travel timing mistakes RVers make before storms
• What to do if you can’t relocate
This is evergreen RV storm preparation guidance you can use year after year.

Before conditions deteriorate:
• Retract all awnings immediately
• Secure or store all exterior items
• Close roof vents and windows
• Inspect slide seals and roof areas
• Top off fuel and propane
System readiness:
• Charge phones, batteries, and power banks
• Decide on shore power vs onboard power strategy
• Review breaker and shutoff locations
• Prepare for temperature changes (heater readiness, hose decisions)
If relocating:
• Travel earlier than you think
• Avoid high wind exposure
• Park well before weather worsens
If staying put:
• Secure the rig completely
• Shelter away from windows
• Monitor official weather alerts
• Follow local advisories
Preparation turns uncertainty into control.
