Wind!

Setting in RV park in Port Aransas with 40 mile per hour wind rocking my fifth wheel. It may be a sleepless night if this keeps up.

  • Spent a very sleepless spring night at Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado Springs, CO a few years ago. Popup in 50+ mile winds was quite the experience I don't care to repeat...
  • JT Strong Arm stabilizers or a similar product would make for a much better night.

  • We boondock in the open desert and have been often caught camping in high wind conditions. When I had a TT, I would park the TV upwind to act as a break. With the MH, I move the coach so it is facing the wind or park it in the wind shadow of someone elses rig.

  • Been there and done that Wife kept waking me up wanting know if I thought it would blow over! It was our first trip.
  • Been there, done that, only it was in central Nebraska a few years ago. 50+ mph gusts. We wisely decided not to travel that day, just spent an extra day in camp.
