Flooding around here is caused by rivers about 1week after the storms. This is Kinston after Matthew. https://youtu.be/VjXPVcS-2u0Re: Hurrican FlorenceI have the 5th wheel about 25 feet from my house. Thanks.Re: Hurrican FlorenceThanks everyone. I should have clarified I have the 5th wheel sitting next to my house. I am not trying to go through this storm in a 5th wheel.Re: Hurrican Florence Jim&Sharon wrote: I like to think I'm wiser in my old age, but maybe I'm just more cautious. If I knew the hurricane was headed to me, I would load the camper up and go camping, about 300 miles inland. Come back home when services have been restored, and see if you need to call the insurance company. Having "hunkered down" thru several hurricanes, I can tell you thru experience that there is no reason for you to "live thru it ". There isn't a darn thing you can do to fix problems as they occur. So since you have to wait until the storm has passed anyway, you might as well wait where it's safe and comfortable. Leaving is not an option. Livestock still have to cared for...Re: Hurrican FlorenceI am not leaving. Should I hook trailer up to my truck for more stability?Hurrican FlorenceAs of now I am in direct line of having this storm hit us. We live about 60-70 miles inland. Kinston, NC. Should I hook up my 5th wheel to my truck or just leave it unhooked?Re: Black Mountain Up and Down advice sgfrye wrote: on a side note where are you staying on this trip?

I came down doing 35 mph with my F150 pulling a 3000 pound TT. By downshifting, I never had to touch the brakes (yes, I know that this is a very light TT.) Several RV's and trucks pulling TT's blew past me but I was not trying to get in a hurry so I stayed at the speed limit. Most of the heavy trucks stayed at about 30 mph. Yes I am not going to be in a hurry. It will be early Sunday morning when I descend.Re: Black Mountain Up and Down adviceLast trip (pulling 5th wheel) I think I used 3rd gear and stay 35-45 max & had no problems. Going down.
