K so... the whole rig shook all night. I was on levelers. The next morning, the big slide (2 track), would not close the last inch. I went into the Running Man station over to the truck side and deployed levelers, slides, and it closed, albiet slower than normal.
Is there a technique about wind limits? Looking for "been there done that" or was it just a one time thing? Can you bend your slide tracks in inclement weather?

That is just a cooling breeze. If wind gets above 10 mph, we pull the patio awning in. If it gets above 20 mph, we pull both slide in. If it gust above 40 mph, we pull the jacks because the wide track of the tires makes the more stable. It is not uncommon to have 40 mph winds gusting to 50 mp during the day in the Spring on South Padre Island. It usually calms down at night enough to put the bedroom slide out. The Spring cold fronts are quite breezy in South Texas.
