Protecting slide-out awnings from snow load
I'm concerned with the potential damage to the slide out awnings from too much snow. I can't afford to build a structure over my 5th. Does anyone know of an inexpensive solution or have experience with this type of thing? I don't think the beach ball idea will work in the wintertime.
Im a newly single 57 year old woman with limited income. Living in my 5th in Michigan year round is going to be a new experience. My Jayco has the Polar Package, but I'm hearing that it makes little to no difference. I'm all skirted with T1-11 and 2" r-10 foam insulation. Heat tape on water pipes. So far from these forums I've learned that I should also wrap my (hard-not flex) sewer pipes, and I plan to install either the bubble wrap or the transparent plastic on the windows. I'll have a well pump heater underneath and possibly one in utility area.
With everything I've said, does anyone have any more advise for me? I'm really nervous about this. My 5th is beautiful and I don't wanna make the inside icky or ugly or anything. Lol. Sounds silly, but I like pretty stuff.
I'm also nicely equipped (please God, make it true) to keep out the mice/spiders... using peppermint essential oils EVERYWHERE.
THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO RESPONDS.
