Got parked at a casino west of Albuquerque this afternoon and the wind that was already gusting over 30mph started gusting over 50mph. I'd ask the casino management if I could park where I was and if it was ok to put our slides out (we have to put the bedroom one out, but some of the class A's had all theirs out). They said it was ok so we got a players card, won $40 bucks, had dinner and fought our way back to the rig. We were sitting in our recliners and the wind hitting the side of the rig was making us rock enough it was hard to read (these are not rocker recliners). I went out to make sure the windows on the truck were up and many of the class A's and C's had their stabilizers fully down. I just put my landing gear down till it hit the ground. I always said I'd never put my rams down on someone's lot, but this was exceptional. Since our hitch swivels from side to side several inches, once the front rams just touched the ground the rocking was restricted to just the springs and the slides being pushed in a little so it as passable.
