jimh425 if you look at the picture I was down as far as I could go but with gusts over 80 mph it didn't take much of a crosswind to blow it over, direct side hits.
I did look at it. I was just pointing out that I didn’t think a heavier TC would blow over if lowered, too. I have a small sample, but I’ve had to keep my TC at storage lots over the years and even when we had 80 mph winds, it didn’t go anywhere. My TC has been sitting at my ranch other than limited trips for the past year and even with stronger winds still hasn’t moved. YMMV.
I’m sure there is a TC similar to mine that has blown over if not lowered. It seems like your TC with less basement isn’t as bottom heavy. Obviously lighter to carry, but my guess is more prone to wind effect. I suppose you could rig up some anchors if it will be in the same place on your property to minimize the impact. You might have already.
As far as this thread goes, there was no questions asked by the OP. No slam that I could find in this thread either. At least, not any where near what I’ve seen. Several people made comments which should be taken for what they are worth. Civil discussions are what this forum is about. Sure, sometimes we won’t agree. That’s ok though.
The majority of the posts are from a few people because the rest of you aren’t posting! That obviously puts the threads out of balance. Want it balanced, post more.
