Thanks Jody, does your username indicate you are an antique freak who loves antiques? If so, we do too! From looking at your sig photo I think our friends we were camping with have the same RV you do! It is a nice one!

Re: rain. The night we had the horrific storm while camping we were with some camping friends at Walmart about 20 miles from the campsite when the storm cropped up unexpectedly and we all looked at one another and in unison said " EEEEEEEK ....our awnings are out! Lets fly!" So we hurried back to camp and found everything totally soaked under our canopies over the picnic tables but nothing was damaged and our awnings were both intact on both RVs! We were fortunate. If we had been down on the water we'd have lost 'em....as those who had theirs still out and were on the water did! Tore them completely up. We have learned a valuable lesson...if you are going to leave the campground for more than an hour...put the awning down...oh...and buy a weather radio! It rained all night after we got back to camp and we discovered our leak the next morning when hubby stepped on wet carpet!
