I'm still a Eureka Copper Canyon tenter:); certainly will be this summer since my TT won't be ready before the fall. I'll admit that a driving reason for getting an RV is easy early morn hot beverage day starters:h.
Had the 15' X 13' Copper Canyon. 1st week setup in yard, thunderstorm tore it to pieces and wrapped it's steel poles around some trees and fence. Had extra tie outs added but did no good. NO MORE CABIN TENTS! :D I'm back to Dome tents that are wind friendly. ;)
Vicious weather in IN.!
Closest time I ever got to concern on that level was the.... day before Hurricane Irene hit landfall on the CT. seashore. Fortunately both my Eureka and Paha Que made it thru that time frame although the more rigid tubular frame of the PQ is a tad wonky to this day. The next day the park was closed by the gov and everyone scattered home. I-95 and the Merrick were a complete driving nightmare and we spent the night at a relative's in Westchester county.
I'm pretty sure my CC is 10 or 11 x 12 and the PQ is for sure 12 by 12. I thank a cousin who joined the Navy underage during 'Nam(long family story that we can all laugh at now), for showing me how to properly guyline my tents just a few days before the storm. You know what they say about fools and children and and I know which one I was;).
