Hurricane Ian

My Bambi survived Hurricane Ian. It was parked in it normal Parking spot at a storage unit. I put down the stabilizers and it held steady in +125 mph winds.
For the sake of the picture I did remove a branch that was underneath. It came off two of the stabilizers but I am sure putting them down saved it lifting. Credit to the design. Other campers parked in the same place were not so lucky.

Glad to hear that your Bambi was unscathed. Good thinking on deploying the stabilizers.
