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 we travel we look at the weather for the next 5 days so we know in advance of wind or bad weather. We don't drive when it's bad weather or windy. When parked and wind is 45 mph we put in the slides. We have our weather radio on all the time. We evacuate when our weather radio says Severe Storm Warning with damaging winds (55+ mph) and of course Tornado Warning. Recently in FL the weather radio announcement said Severe Thunderstorm Warning with winds of 60 mph and some gusts higher. In that statement it said that the wind could damage roofs, siding and damage mobile homes. When they say that and it's coming our way, we leave.
