Most of our trips are close to home. We only take 1 long trip a year and so far we've been lucky and not had to deal with some of the bad weather situations many of you have encountered. A bad storm is what got my family out of a tent though. We had went camping with our 2 girls 3 years ago. Last night there, a bad storm came up and soaked everything. Water in a little creek behind us was rising, getting close to tent. Dropped the tent, threw it in the bed of my truck along with everything else. A week later, we had a pop-up setting in the yard. It lasted less than a year. Every time we went camping, we had to drop it and bring it home in the rain. Got tired of drying the thing out. LOL. That led to our TT. I'm sure I'll run into some bad weather towing it on a long trip one of these days. That's fine. I'll just find a place to spend some time and enjoy another night in the TT.
