VERY Happy Texas Storm Camper
Our area was clobbered by tornados and severe storms Sunday last. My S&B roof is scattered over 1000 feet from the house and I've got flower planters in the neighbor's pasture. My garbage can was found 10 feet off the ground in a tree on my other neighbor's property. I had my Monty parked next to the house and was in the process of cleaning it after a recent camping trip. All the slides were out and it was plugged in. The storm hit about 7 or 8 pm and lasted until about 2 am. We were under constant tornado and severe storm warnings and watches. We had unrelenting hail the size of golf balls, winds in excess of 70 mph and horizontal rain.
My house is practically destroyed.
The Monty has some hail dings in the J-wrap, some holes in the A/C Shrouds and some minor damage to the trim inserts. The 4 slide-toppers are pretty much toast. (fabric only) I had some water forced in through the slides on the ODS but so far doesn't seem like it damaged anything.
What I'm trying to say is, I'm amazed at the real lack of damage to the Monty relative to the damage of my house. I know we all have problems with our 5er's but this has to be a testament to the basic construction of these units.
Of course, I've got the repairman coming out for a thorough inspection in a day or so, but as of now, I'm a very happy camper.
