How to Prepare an RV for a Hurricane

You are going to have to prepare your RV and everything in it if you know that you are about to be hit by a hurricane. You should not drive or even be in the car while there is a hurricane. When a hurricane is coming, you need to get yourself and everyone in the RV to a storm shelter. 



  1. Check the area that is located around where your RV has been parked. See if there is a possibility of flooding.




  2. Have a first aid kit. Put some blankets, ID, car documents and sleeping bags in a bag that can protect them from water. You should also have medicine, water and food that is non-perishable. 




  3. Check to make sure that there are not any cracks in any of your windows. Check the tires to make sure that they are in good condition so that they will function properly. 




  4. Turn the RV so that the wind is blowing on the back of the car. This will protect your windshield from getting damaged.




  5. If you do not have straps that you can use as anchors, anchor the RV using old tires. Bury the tires two feet underground. Attach a hook to the tire and wrap the strap around the RV.




  6. Make sure that there are not any branches that are hanging around that could damage the vehicle. Make sure that all of the items that are located in the RV are safely secured.




  7. Using some plywood, board up the windows of the RV so they do not get shattered. If there are no storm shelters nearby, have everyone get into the bathroom in the RV.
