You should have an RV to bougout with in an emergency

If there is an emergency in your area that requires evacuation, having an RV (truck camper, travel trailer, 5th wheel, motorhome) would give you a flexible bugout option.

Now in the past, people have pointed out some negatives; bullets can penetrate the walls, and they catch attention as having resources. Well so a mobile home that someone lives in also is easily penetrated by bullets, that doesn't mean everyone that lives in a mobile home now must move into a house when they can't afford it. Any vehicle or home is a possible resource for pillaging, an RV really isn't any different.

This is for someone that wants to keep all their options open, and does not already have a place to bugout. If you already have the perfect location, by all means don't let the flexibility of having portable shelter and a place to keep your stuff interfere with your mountain cabin. But not everyone has a mountain cabin, I sure don't. Even if I did, I see value in an RV, it's a given' portable shelter.

SO let's say you live in a city of 100 thousand people, and there is an evacuation because there is a power outage and the nuclear power plant is going to melt down. Let's also assume that there is general chaos in other outlying cities, and let's say that you don't have enough money to move and get an apartment or house elswhere, or spend thousand in hotel. But you ave this used RV that you wisely invested $1000-$4000 on, just in case. And of course they come in handy as a guest room, and to take camping traveling etc.

SO when the stuff hits the fan, now you have a place to stay. You just simply sleep in the RV. That means you can evacuate with your preps, and have a place to stay. So now you should already have a place in mind to bugout to. You looked in advance at the downwinder's map, so you know where the wind would blow the radiation, you simply park your RV elsewhere. Now you and your family have a place to stay, no matter what happens in your town. Take your RV, go park it up in the mountains. Now you can either stay in the RV, or go make camp further away from civilization. You could abandon the RV and try and make escape or just stay in it depending on the threat assessment. If it was really bad you could use the RV to trap your enemies and ambush them when they try and seize your goods.

In summary; an RV has several advantages over permanent location, and especially for those with no alternate location at all.
