When to pull in slides or evacuate with wind?
When do you become concerned about wind and what do you do about it? I am not talking about hurricanes warnings when we would obviously move! How much wind is too much for an RV?

When to pull in slides or evacuate with wind?
If parked, when in doubt, 'evacuate the RV'.
Tom Sawyer CG, Memphis When tornadoes went thru.
I moved from my site and went back 6 rows off the river.
I saw my neighbors trailer flip over.
I saw the other neighbors awning that he was trying to get in flip up and repeatedly slam into the entire side of his trailer. Some guy took a knife and cut the awning to stop it from further damaging his trailer.
A big bus DP stayed on the river proudly claiming that their RV was safe and that we were all overreacting. The winds picked it up and slammed it down and a tree limb crushed into the roof. When it was all over they were in shock.
My MH lifted up and all the other campers stuff flew under it. They had to jack up my MH to get all the stuff out from underneath it.
I took the mattress and laid it down in the front between the couch and dinette with the mattress over me and the dogs. It was THE most terrifying experience. NEVER again will I stay in an RV in bad weather!
Next time I will get into my toad and drive as fast as I can AWAY from all the RV's. :W
