Weathering Storm in RV Without Power
The speaker is experiencing severe weather while staying in their RV at a campground. They lost power due to tornado warnings and thunderstorms, with wind gusts up to 90 mph and flash flood warnings. **Weather preparation**: They secured outdoor equipment, identified the safest interior location, and used battery power systems to maintain internet access through their router.
**Cooking preparation**: They've been working with ChatGPT to learn cooking skills and ordered equipment including a portable charcoal grill, induction heating devices, and an electric skillet. This is part of preparing for boondocking during their upcoming westward travel.
**RV organization and maintenance**: Nearly finished organizing the interior space. Planning to fix their uncomfortable bed using 1-inch foam material once the weather clears. The bed has a gap that causes significant discomfort and sleep disruption.
**Solar power learning**: Needs to understand their solar system capabilities before leaving for Nevada, including what appliances can be powered and for how long. Plans to test running various devices through AC outlets.
**Weather awareness**: Reflecting on how living in an RV makes them more aware of weather threats compared to house living. Many other campers left the campground early, apparently anticipating the severe weather.
