Safe Living in an RV

If you own an RV, at some point, you will be traveling—moving from point to point. Even the snowbirds have to move from a summer home to a winter location (e.g., Michigan to Arizona). Since you do travel—and granted, some RVers travel much more than others—we want you to be safe. However, when you are traveling, you constantly find yourself in some location unfamiliar to you. Therefore, you do not know what is going on around you, that is, locally. If you are in or close to a city, you may be able to get local TV (news) but in smaller towns this is not possible. The result is that it becomes difficult to determine just how “safe” an area is whether you are traveling through or are stopping for the night (or longer).

Also, while traveling, things do happen. Emergencies are just that—emergencies—they are unplanned and cannot be predicted or avoided in many instances.
