The reason for the TV to be at an angle is it takes more force to make it tip over. Take a pocket knife (or other folding utensil) and put it on a table while it is folded. See how much it takes to roll it. Then unfold the utensil to about a 45* angle. Try to roll it over and see which on takes more effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjhunter01 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I wondered the same thing and the logic behind the angle parking. My fifth wheel hitch will tilt 30 deg side to side which would put the camper up on 2 wheels at which point the truck would be overwhelmed. Edit - Save the truck and get it away from the camper.

dartmouth01 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 After watching this video posted on another thread, I've decided I'd want to put down the stabs, even if there was a chance of damaging them. And loading up the water tanks. I'd probably hitch up to the truck too but I'm not sure if if it would help much and possibly cause more damage (to the truck) http://www.accuweather.com/en/videos/tornado-rips-through-rv-dealership/0wegtsyte6kqqcpt1uavo-ntjucowgsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I disconnect the truck and park it beside the trailer on the windward side trying to disturb the airflow. It does however scare the crap out of the new Smart strapped to the back of the Hauler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
