Do you worry about possible leaks at your S&B when you are in the RV?
Last summer DW and I were shopping in a Walmart five hours from home because we forgot to pack the lawn chairs, when our house sitter calls with the news that a pipe has broken and water is streaming down the basement wall. Lucky for me my BIL is handy and lives a half hour away, and was able to repair the leak with parts on hand.
You're lucky.
I worked on the restoration of a duplex basement a few years back. The below grade basement was small, probably 15' x 20'. The renter had left for grocery shopping with an outside lawn sprinkler running. A pipe broke in the wall cavity and flooded the basement.
I would have liked to seen the look on her face when she opened the service door from the garage and was swept away by the water. The staircase was flooded to about 3'.
