'My thought...... if you have to ask that question then it is time to evacuate. On jacks I would think 80-100mph.

Hi everyone,

This might sound like an odd question, but we need to ask it. We have a 38' 2000 Safari Zanzibar that weights about 33,000 lbs. We are in the general area of where Dorian is coming. We are about 100 miles from the ocean. We are in an RV park and they have not declared an evacuation yet. The question we have is how much wind would it take to turn an RV like ours on its side?

Thanks,
Robert and CJ

'I just heard on NPR winds may get to 135mph. That may have fluff built in accommodate most possibilities. But a Cat 4 is certainly life threatening without living in an RV!
