When your camper is your lifeboat.

Emergency Evacuation

When wildfire, flood, or storm means your camper isn't recreation — it's home base. Built for grab-and-go.

Read before you need it

In a real evacuation, minutes matter. The American Red Cross recommends keeping a go-bag ready, knowing two routes out of your area, and identifying where you'll go before disaster strikes. Sign up for local alerts, and keep a printed copy of this list in your tow vehicle.

My evacuation locations

0/3

  • Primary destination (family/friend out of area)

    Name, address, phone. Should be 50+ miles away.

  • Secondary destination (different direction)

    In case your primary is also affected.

  • Nearest public shelter or safe parking

    Walmart, casino, fairground, Red Cross shelter, etc.

Documents (go-bag)

0/6

  • Driver's license + passports

    Photograph everything; store copies in the cloud.

  • Insurance policies (home, auto, health)

  • Vehicle/camper title + registration

  • Birth certificates + Social Security cards

  • Cash ($200–$500 small bills)

    ATMs and card readers may be down.

Make a 'leave in five minutes' folder.
