1200 miles from home & trouble

we are on the side of the road about 2 hours from flagstaff (I feel like I do not have to tell you about the motorhome been here so much) 2002 Monaco diplomat the slide with the couch and kitchen has a cover that wants to flap, it has been horrible winds I am now at wits end to keep the canvas from unrolling, I am at the point I wonder if I should cut the canvas off if you can help Wrinkles and I would genuinely love your help

    Roll of duct tape. Cut strips and place them so they break up the wind getting under the roller. Been there done that. You cut the fabric, now you are in deep doo

    Time for action since snow is expected in Flagstaff.

    Can you use ropes to secure it?

    If the slide is closed tie a rope around the entire coach. If it is open tie a rope from one side of the slide, over the cover, and back on the other side of the slide. Tie it down with bunge's to keep it taut.

    sometimes you can turn the MH into the lea side of the wind and unroll the window cover and then roll it back up
