Dorian

For the first time ever, I left our 5er in Florida when we left last spring. It's in central FL away from the beaches thankfully. Fingers crossed.
  • Wishing you good luck! If you are inland I would not think you would get the extremely high winds but possibly a lot of rain. My grandson is in the Air Force in the pan handle and said they haven't had to evacuate the airplanes yet but expected a lot of rain. The last I heard it sounded like the hurricane was starting to turn north.
  • Heading north

    Looks like you’ll be fine.

    My neighbor owned a place on the Florida Gulf. Sold it last winter because he couldn’t take the yearly stress of hurricane season. He does rentals in Cozumel instead.
  • Sending prayers for the safety of all humans, animals, rigs & RV parks located in the path of Dorian.
  • We've booked a 4 month stay at Seasons in the Sun RV Resort in Mims (Rt.46 near I-95). Keeping my fingers crossed!
  • The 5er is sitting on the RV park lot that we have rented 6 & 6. It's higher than the surrounding area but there's a little bit higher ground that might back up water in an extended torrential downpour. Hope not.

    I ride through Mims from time to time on my way out to Merritt Island Wildlife Reserve.
  • Word of advice, if the storage lot is low critters seek high ground. Keep and eye out that first week of living in it.
  • Keeping my fingers crossed that your 5th wheel will be fine! I'm watching closely too. We are planning on being snowbirds for the first time in Mims, FL (Near Titusville). As of right now, Dorian looks to be aiming right at that area. It would just be my luck that the resort will be leveled and our plans will be ruined.
  • It's never leaked before but it's never been in rain driven by 100mph winds either. Of course at 100mph I should be more worried about it getting blown away.
  • Best of luck to you with it. Hopefully just being buttoned up, you'll be fine. I know it has to be stressful, though.
