I read a classified on the Alaskan website from a seller offering for sale the "BOTTOM HALF ONLY" (his caps) of an 8' CO. Top half lifted off while driving in the wind. Located in Wyoming. Whodathunkit.
This got me thinking. I lived in WY for quite a while, so I still visit frequently, which means I cannot avoid driving the Alaskan through strong winds. Like last Saturday, when we drove past a UPS dry box in the median on I-25.
Is wind-induced uplift a problem with these? I know you pin them up when raised, but can you pin them down?
If not, anyone got any ideas for securing the top half down while traveling (other than ratchet straps)?
Happy New Year!
