We have hurricane Florence on the way with 140 mph winds. Is it recommended to put the jacks down or keep the up?

Thanks for any help from someone who has road one of the out.

Dutchmen is correct, jacks up or down, no difference. The wind will destroy your RV in seconds. Time to head west, like right now.

Getting out not and option. I live here and have been through several hurricanes. Just have never had a class A parked next to the house.

Good luck. 140 mph wind, really, I don't think up or down will make any difference. Hitch up and get out now! That's your best choice. Keep driving West till you see sunshine!

If you can't get out of the area, try to find a high area, that won't flood and look for a shopping mall. Check to see if you can park next to the back of a large store, on the inside of a group of stores to block the wind.
First choice is to always leave the area, but I have parked our coach at a mall while we rode out Irma at our stick house. When we lost power for several days, I brought the coach back home to live in and used the generator to power our home refrig and freezer.

You don't ride it out, either leave or plan on going to a shelter.

The Gov of South Carolina has just place the entire coast line on MANDATORY EVACUATIONS . .

IF your in the path, I suggest that you keep your jacks UP, while getting out of dodge !

If you are mobile I say get out of Dodge!

If it is stored I would look into tie downs. DO a Google search.
