Pull in slides in wind?
We are in Bullhead City in a wind storm. At what wind speed would you pull in your slides? Sustained or gusts? Thanks!

November 2006, Flint, TX: high winds from the south. Fiver really rocking. Pulled in slides, hitched up, faced into wind, and dropped trailer legs and put a bit of weight on them. That did a lot to stabilize the rig. Rode it (and a really impressive thunderstorm) out for four or five hours. Found out the next day a tornado had passed .3 mi to our west.
Oct 19,20,21 2007: Valley of Fires NRA, Carrizozo, NM. Three days of wind, guessing 40-60 mph. Had our short-legged tripod/dish antenna out, with maybe 40-50 lbs of rock on each foot. Blew over, anyway.
Funny how our two biggest wind experiences came in our first two years on the road.
