I don't think there is any difference between open country or an established RV resort. Severe weather affects everyone, and those of us in RVs are a bit more vulnerable than those in stick-and-brick buildings. No matter WHERE you are, if severe weather is coming ... get-out-of-Dodge! If you can take the RV with you, then do. If not, leave it behind. It's ONLY replaceable property. Your life is not!
In the Mid-West, there are tornadoes. On the East coast, there are hurricanes. On the West coast there is the threat of drought and forest fire (and earthquakes). In the Northern boarders of the USA, the threat of severe snow and avalanches. In all cases ... if possible, get out of harms way. If it's completely impossible, then all you can do is honker down, face the RV into the direction of the wind for the strongest resistance, and find a hole to crawl into.
