and make sure you have more than ONE way out!!


The other thing to watch is the weather, especially the wind, both strength and direction.
We had a couple camp host loose their rigs during last years fires here in Oregon because the winds made the fires move so fast. We have hosted with a couple different host that had to just disconnect power and drains and get out with TV and trailer only.

Considering we can see and smell the western fire smoke 30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts this sounds like a good idea!
