just a few days after we got our coach i was off on the maiden voyage of 4k miles. the first day we were driving across I40 in new mexico and doing 75mph in a 50mph crosswind....or maybe it was a 100mph crosswind, all i know is that it was strong....
i learned a few things....first is driving 75 is nuts....
second is those zip dee awnings are STRONG. mine came down at 75mph and flapped like an albatross up and down until i could pull over. it was an awful noise and i was sure it had ripped off.
i borrowed the only ladder in the little town on the freeway and tied it up with a coat hanger.
i promptly bought two of the travel latches, which it didnt have at all to put on the 22 footer.
live and learn.
but it does help to actually engage the latches.
