Last week while at “Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park” in Montana, I would guess we were in 50+ mph winds, and would not be surprised if the wind speeds where closer to 70+ mph. It was in the middle of the day, no rain, with clear skies, the HTT was sitting on the valley floor, with very few trees around us. The stabilizers were down and tight, wheels chocked and the HTT was a rock’n and a roll’n with us in it. I would guess the top of the trailer was pitching four to six inches as it rocked, I was actually beginning to be concerned the HTT would rotate or worse yet flip. I was watching the tent ends as I had nothing else I could do. The side panel on the up wind side was pushed inwards onto the support cable, and the end frame, which really kept the tent from flapping in the wind, and gave it good support. The downwind side of the tent was blown up like a balloon. We had no damage.
