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. 

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.

Real-World Example: A $200 Patch That Became a $9,000 Roof We recently worked with a couple who had patched a small tear in their RV roof using off-the-shelf tape they found at a local store. It held — for a while. But a few months later, they noticed bubbling in the ceiling and a musty smell creeping in. What they couldn’t see was the real problem: the patch had failed, and water had been slowly seeping into the roof’s substructure. By the time we got on the roof to do the install, the damage had significantly spread — compromising the roof decking, soaking the insulation, and even affecting interior panels. What started as what they thought would be a simple fix turned into a full roof replacement that cost over $9,000. And the worst part? Much of that damage could have been avoided with early intervention. Layer Cake Caulk? Not the Solution. We see it all the time — RV roofs covered in layers of caulk, tape, and sealant. It might feel like you’re reinforcing protection, but the truth is: layered patching is one of the worst things you can do. Why? • It traps dirt and debris between layers, creating pockets where water can sneak in. • It deteriorates unevenly, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint the source of a leak. • It hides damage, giving a false sense of security while moisture spreads underneath. We call it “layer cake caulk,” and trust us — it’s not sweet. At rallies this year alone, RV Roofing Solutions provided over 600 FREE roof inspections. And we found issues in rigs of every age and style — sometimes even a stray tree branch was the culprit. But more often, it was a patch job gone wrong. If your roof looks like a patchwork of tape and caulk, it’s time to stop layering and start protecting.
