Just a question while on the topic of bad storms. We've been in some pretty heavy rain storms with hail, maybe a bit over 1/2 inch, and had some very windy conditions, but how well do these things hold up to larger hail? I would expect the roof would have a little give and would be better than asphalt shingles on a stick house, but with the vent covers and the skylight, how do they do? We do intend to carefully watch for bad weather as we cross the country, but we can only go so fast, so it's hard to outrun the storms
Just like a stick house it's going to depend on size of hail, how hard it is, wind direction and speed etc. We've been in 60mph winds and hail with no damage where the truck got some small dents you can only see when the sun is right so it can take some, but not a lot. I carry a couple of plastic tarps in my trucks tool box to cover skylights etc. More than that and it's probably totaled.
