Escapees C.A.R.E

Escapees C.A.R.E facility is dear to our hearts
At Xscapers Bash we not only attended as a vendor, but our team also helped raise money for Escapees C.A.R.E. The C.A.R.E facility is in Livingston, Texas, and offers a safe haven to those whose journeys have been disrupted by age or health-related challenges, ensuring their well-being and peace of mind.
How can I voluteer?
Many of our installers are also Escapees members, so this is an organization that is near and dear to our hearts.
How can you help?
Well, of course, you can donate to the organization. It is a 501(c)(3) and gives residents in the program the ability to continue to live independently in their own RV. Residents can sleep in their own bed and store things in a storage building. They get help with propane, holding tanks, and awnings and receive site maintenance and help dumping tanks. They have two laundry loads washed and folded every week, and housekeeping in their rig every other week.
Residents in the program still have lots of fun playing bingo, dominos, card games, and board games, and can socialize during exercise, craft projects, pet shows, outings, parties, and special events. Volunteers drive them to and from doctor's appointments and shopping trips to nearby stores as well.
You can actually stay on-site and volunteer at C.A.R.E, as well. Many Escapees members spend a month here helping residents of the program. In exchange for their time and service, volunteers are provided a 50-amp, full hookup RV site (electricity and propane fees extra) in the Livingston C.A.R.E. Center. Three meals a day are also provided, seven days a week. During the warmer summer months (June-September), volunteers receive a summer seasonal credit towards their electricity to offset higher charges. There is also a small laundry room that the volunteers can use at no charge.
If this sounds like a way you would like to give back to the Escapees community, please reach out to them.

At RV Roofing Solutions, we love connecting with fellow RV enthusiasts at rallies, and to make your experience even better, we offer a FREE roof inspection for all attendees! While space is limited at rallies, you'll receive a detailed inspection report complete with photos showcasing your roof's condition, including detailed photos of the sealant. Whether you choose us, or not, we offer this service when we are at the same event- as long as the venue allows us to do so. Many folks initially say, "I don't need a roof" or "My roof is in good shape," but the images in this post tell a different story—they're from RVs whose owners chose not to proceed with our system. Remember, before sealing any roof, a thorough inspection is vital. Addressing leaks and underlying issues first can prevent costly long-term damage, ensuring your adventures stay leak-free. Begin by inspecting the entire surface, paying close attention to areas around vents, skylights, and other penetration points. Look for any gaps, separations, or signs of aging or weathering. This thorough inspection will help you determine the extent of the repairs needed and guide your decision on which sealant to use.
