Seems like the wind never stops blowing out here in the desert. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to sleep with it shaking my tear.
been fighting the wind all day,guess I'll let it rock me to sleep. :D

Depending on the terrain you're sleeping in, I would suggest four dog-chain - augers? - for your trailer. They have a triangle handle and look like a huge corkscrew. You just screw them into the ground. If you attached chains to them coming from the frame of your trailer, you'd anchor it to the ground quite a bit!

I fought wind up across Kansas, Missouri and Iowa yesterday, too. It doesn't help the fuel mileage a bit :x
Have a safe trip.
