Rhino shelters - any user experience here?
Been looking at ways of protecting the new camper from the elements. While I'd love to build an enclosed pole barn, that's not in the budget. Anyone have experience with the line of Rhino shelters they want to share? Pro or con, just doing some research here. Thanks!

Well, we bit the bullet and purchased one. Putting the framework together is fun - if you like working on tall stepladders! I'll post more photos when we put the doors and the cover on.

Did the shelter fall over on its side already? I looked up Rhino Shelter and they use a fabric cover; how the heck would a person get that thing in place and secured? I can just see you holding on while a gust takes you to Canada!

The fabric is held in place by an elaborate system of lacing through grommets and secured to the frame. Once I get that far I'll post more photos.
Evidently the board software takes any photo that is submitted in portrait mode and displays it in landscape mode. Doesn't seem to be any way to rotate them.

Uh, OSHA just called and they're on the way to your homestead. The Maine Department of Safety probably just chose to look the other way...

Jim, they will be able to find me easily. I'm the one with the large yellow stripe down my back and the really sweaty expression. I've never like ladders of any type!

I used to be a volunteer fireman and heights and ladders were not a problem but these days, a couple trips up and down a ladder and I have to ice my knees afterwards. I used to be a tackling dummy when I was a kid in school. Paying for the shouts of the fans and cheerleaders smiling at me now.

Yup a common problem. You need to take pics in landscape mode or be sure to rotate them before uploading. There is no way to adjust it once it lands here.

Well, here is a photo of the finished product. It's currently in horizontal mode, hope it displays that way! Should anyone have any questions in the future, be glad to provide some hints to make the process somewhat easier.
