If your RV is stored outside, go check on it.
I went over to the storage unit today to look over our rv and noticed a broken vent cover laying on the ground a few feet away. Climbing the ladder to check my vent covers, which were fine, I could see the front vent cover missing on a fifth wheel that is parked close to ours. We had some big winds a couple weeks ago, and some big rains since then.
The weather people are predicting 100 per cent chance of rain tomorrow, so I called the owners of the storage facility and gave them the information. They were going to call the 5th wheel owner.
Later, I wondered if they made contact. Are the owners out of town for the holidays? I tried to call again but the business was closed for the day. so, now what do I do. Do I go home and find some plastic and go up and cover it up? We had a little freezing rain and snow the last couple days so I wasn't excited about the thought of falling off a strangers RV.
I decided to drive to the business and try to catch an employee leaving. Fortunately, I did talk to the lady that called he owner. She said it was a local number and when she told them of the problem, all they said was thank you. I guess I won't worry about it anymore.
Now don't get me wrong here. I'm not after any praise or reward. What I wish, is that the owner would have said, We will go over right away and take care of it, or I don't know what to do, I have no one to help. Then I could have followed up and made sure it is covered up.
It is an older rv and the vent is above the bedroom area. I'm afraid here may already be a lot of water damage in there. Maybe they already know and its an insurance issue.
I know there are people watching out for me and I just want to do the same for others. Hopefully this will inspire someone to go check their rv if they haven't for a while. Have a safe and happy new year everyone.
