Setting in RV park in Port Aransas with 40 mile per hour wind rocking my fifth wheel. It may be a sleepless night if this keeps up.

Wind and/or constant rain have been the only things that have made me leave a day early from my planned camping trip.. It's been one time for each instance in the 12 years of my planned camping trips..

Living in the Texas Panhandle we deal with rain all the time. Our Cameo has the Big Foot levelers which really cuts down on movement. It's just something you get use too. I don't like to pull in the wind, but at times can't help it. I do know there could be a time when I wouldn't.

Would it be better to stay hitched up during a wind storm?
Seems the extra weight of your TV would help act as an anchor?

Just returned from a quick trip up to Globe and on down to Apache junction. Spring in the high Sonoran desert is the windiest time of year and this trip was no exception. Had winds of 25 to 35 mph all the way up and most of the way home (when it gets above 35 I just stay put). It knocked my milage back from 10 to 8.5 but other than that no issues although a couple of gusts funneling through the passes did induce a little pucker factor. :S

We were in a camp near Garden City, Kansas when a tornado was heading our way. High winds, rain, hale, lightning, and a lot of shaking. No where to go. Had the weather radio on all the time. It missed the area we were in and glad of it!

Popups in wind can be quite an adventure! One year we camped at a private CG just outside Great Sand Dunes NP. We had no choice which way to face, and the winds, gusting probably to 45 or so, aimed right at the end of the PUP. I was sure the metal braces holding up the bed-end tent would break - one did bend - so we put the camper down and begged & pleaded enough that they allowed us to stay in one of their "motel" rooms instead (fortunately they had one available).

Spent a very sleepless spring night at Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado Springs, CO a few years ago. Popup in 50+ mile winds was quite the experience I don't care to repeat...

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.
