Any suggestions for the best way to secure a fifth-wheel against dangerous winds in a long-term, semi-permanent setting?
I would wish that I could use stake-secured cabling over the top (so that the cables could also support shade & winter wind-break tarps) but I can't think of an easy way to do that without producing tension-marks on the roof. But perhaps some sort of metal-work structure resting on the roof could also allow for the necessary air gaps to allow venting under the tarp shade.
Perhaps there are photos of various solutions online? Do many simply put chains through the wheels and stake the chains to the ground? (I suppose that could double as additional drive-away theft deterrent.)
Thanks for any suggestions.
Most mobile homes out here in AZ are staked to the ground with straps to the frame. Could do something similar. In fact, it's a requirement here.
