RVing in Deep South

[J-Rooster]

With tropical storms getting ready to hit the Deep South, heavy rains 5-10 inches and extremely high winds, do or will you take your RV out for the Labor Day Weekend. I'm curious if there is any hard core RVers out there. I think I can handle the rain but, with the awning in, I would be worrying about damage to the slide toppers? Seems like this weather would be ideal for RVers without slides.

I'll stay home this weekend. I really don't worry much about flooding but I hate to be stuck inside the coach all day. If it get to windy, the awning stays in and I can put the slides in too but when it rains a lot, I'd rather be home watching a movie.

J-Rooster, you could be a RVer with no slides too..... just keep those babies in!

Our current coach does not have slide toppers, I don't miss them as they would vibrate in the wind. But, we have another problem, I have to make sure nothing large, like a stick, etc., falls on top of the slide-out as it could damage our air seals.

So, I guess it's a 50-50 thing..... Slide toppers could get damaged or things could fall on my slide tops. I have a mirror on an extended handle to check the tops before I pull them in. A couple of times, I've had to clean them off.

Chances are you will be fine, but I would ere to the safe side and not go to the Gulf Coast right now.

We have had to move because the campground was flooded more then once and nothing ever happened to any of our slide toppers.
