Emergencies - Nucamp Cirrus 620 2021 Owner's Manual

EMERGENCIES

Emergency Preparation. Keep an emergency first aid kit in your camper. A separate kit with essential
tools and supplies should also be compiled. These may come in handy in some emergencies as well as
for any type of troubleshooting that may arise. The tools suitable for your needs may depend largely on
how much boondocking or cold weather camping you do. Boondock camping may take you far away
from the nearest service station and so be prepared to do some of your own maintenance. A common
list of items needed for emergencies, troubleshooting and maintenance is as follows:
Adjustable Wrench
Allen Wrenches
Car Jack (2-ton)
Cordless Drill
Drill Bits & Tips
Duct Tape
Emergency Blankets
Extra Batteries
Extra Fuses
Flashlight
Weather Emergencies. When it comes to recreational activities, weather can be the number one factor
affecting your enjoyment of the great outdoors. Be prepared for any type of weather emergencies
when traveling with your camper. The following may be helpful in addressing such emergencies:
• Develop a disaster plan for all occupants. Everyone should know what to do in severe weather.
Different types of weather will call for different responses so be familiar with each.
• Know if the campground has a designated shelter area in case of severe weather. When you
arrive at a campground, ask management what to do in case of weather emergency and where
the designated shelter area is located. If the campground is unstaffed, there are probably
no weather emergency provisions made for that campground. Be prepared with your
own emergency weather plan.
• Find a local radio or TV station that broadcasts weather. In case of power loss, keep an
emergency grade battery-operated radio with extra batteries available.
• Invest in a weather radio. A weather radio will give you access to 24-hour VHF weather
broadcasts from the US National Weather Service.
• Research and educate yourself on weather safety. Visit the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration website at
