We thought this would make a good exhibit about how not to level your RV.
Really, it’s not a good idea to hang your wheels in the air. But when we talked to the guy we found out his jacks had gone wild. He pushed the button to level the trailer and the jacks all went to full extension. It took him hours to get it back down to the ground. Thunderstorms last night. It was still raining this morning. When the rain let up and we were packed up to leave, we thought to check the weather to the east; the direction we were headed. The band of thunderstorms that had passed by us had not dissipated. It was headed east through San Antonio carrying along severe weather and tornado warnings. We decided to stay where we were for a while; like an airplane on the tarmac waiting for clearance, or maybe a train on a siding, waiting for a turn on the main line. The tornado warning in San Antonio expired at noon. We were two hours from San Antonio, so we declared clearance at 10am and headed east. Our calculations worked, because we never caught up with the storm. By the time we got to San Antonio, the storm was pounding Dallas and threatening Shreveport. We drove on to Mustang Island State Park. return trip map We’ll park it here for a few days.
