Living in a motorhome during a time of river flooding can be challenging, but there are a few positive aspects to consider, especially if you’re well-prepared and able to stay safe:
- Increased Wildlife Activity: Flooding can lead to increased wildlife activity around rivers. It attracts birds and animals that come to feed or drink. This can be an interesting opportunity for nature observation and photography.
- Fishing Opportunities: Flooding can bring fish into new areas. It can create temporary bodies of water that may offer unique fishing opportunities once the waters stabilise. This is great if you enjoy fishing as part of your vanlife lifestyle.
- Less Crowded Camping Spots: In the aftermath of a flood, some campsites or riverside park up areas might be less crowded. This could give you a more secluded spot if it is safe to be there.
Of course, it’s crucial to stay aware of the risks, including water damage, safety concerns, and road closures. Being mobile gives you the advantage of being capable of relocating quickly, allowing you to adapt to changing conditions.
