We have a 2011 3250TS. We are on our second outing w/it. Right now we are sitting on the east shoreline in Mass. The winds are coming directly out of the east at ~40kts. Which is about 46-48 mph I think. Gale warnings have been posted, and as I am looking out, the sea waves are about 8-10 feet.
Soooo, how is the 3250 doing??
I was concerned with the slide awnings ballooning up and shuttering and was afraid of damage so I brought all 3 slides in last night. The RV is shaking with the gusts but is otherwise doing fine. With the slides in we are able to use the bed(but not open the dresser drawers). The bathroom is totally accessable as is the frig, sink and most of the kitchen utility drawers. As I write this I am perched on the edge of the couch. All in all we are quite pleased with the access with the slides in and find the RV very liveable - if not totally convenient right now.
I don't know if bringing the slides in to protect the awnings was the right thing to do but it seemed prudent to me. If anyone knows when the wind is sufficient to retract slides I would appreciate knowing.
We have the electric fireplace operating as the temp is 49 degrees right now. It is keeping us quite toasty.
If any of you have had similar storm experience please share it with me as I have lots to learn.

PS - The wind is to subside later today.
