the first week i had my 1990 we were driving from arizona to illinois. we were going across new mexico on the freeway and being a newbie and crazy i was driving 75. there was a very very strong crosswind all the way across new mexico and oklahoma. it was nerve racking. (of course then i never thought about slowing down). about half the way across new mexico a loud strange sound happened and something was whacking the side of the coach.
the darlene is looking out the window with big eyes yelling pull over.
the long awning had come down and was flapping like a gigantic bird. we pulled over and wired it up. it didnt rip it or break it. pretty amazing.
later i installed additional locks on the awning.
btw, now i drive 60-65. better mileage, less white knuckles and more fun.
