Don't worry a lot about it. Have good insurance.

Stabilizers down, and narrow side to the wind if possible

If you can take it inland ............

Just do not panic unless it is on you. If you are camping evacuate according to the local authorities.

We live in Pensacola Florida so it's not our first one by any means but first with rv. We live 10 miles from the coast. Thank you for your advice

I don't have much experience with hurricanes, but if I had an RV and lived in hurricane zone, if I were able to leave work for a few days, I think I would head inland and north so that I could watch it on TV.

I would outfit my house to withstand the storm as best I could, then high-tail it out of there.

Just my $.02.

Just remember, until just before a hurricane hits, they really don't know exactly where it will hit. And a difference of 50 miles can be the difference between some damage and catastrophic damage.

Good idea about hitching it up. I've done that in extreme conditions.
