Apologies if this topic has been posted previously but my searches did not find anything similar. Also, Site Admins, please move the post to another area if it is not in the correct forum.
After the massive earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan in 2011, the quake scientists have been issuing alerts with increasing intensity that a similar or worse event is overdue off the coast of Oregon. The impact area includes Portland (which is fairly close to where we live) and the potential impacts are extremely severe due to the numerous bridges in the area. The recommendations are to be prepared to be self sufficient for at least 2 weeks.
Lately my wife and I have been thinking about our preparedness and started thinking that our FWC Fleet could be outfitted to turn it into a really useful post-catastrophe vehicle.
This line of thinking got me wondering if other pop-up owners have done something similar - hence the post. Or, conversely, whether anyone has considered the idea but determined it would not work or identified major drawbacks.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
