This is one reason, I have to plan ahead when I want to use the TC or when I need to use the Truck. I have no desire to crank up the Avion to the max extension on the Jacks to get it on and off with any wind. As it is, I have done it several times in the rain, and that is not fun either...
We plan on using the TC this weekend for a youth outing for church. We will be going to an old remote youth camp for a service project to fix up two of the remaining cabins, for possible later use this summer, then go use the woods on the mountain behind for a great paintball battle. then back to town.. About an hour out the road system. We don;t know yet if it will be clear/rain or snow or a mix of all three.... ;-)
