Yep, just back from a 320S Boondock weekend and found several things to post. This one seems to belong in this category. Have a Visor XL on my T@B but the wind kept blowing it up vertical - the two strings that came with it that were tied off to the trailer could not hold it in place. I would say the winds were 10 mph or so. Anyone else have a smart looking solution to this problem? So far my best idea would be to get two milk jugs full of water and use these as weights to tie the stays to these. Milk jugs full of water would weight 8 lbs a piece and have handles, but would look less than 'smart' INHO. Am planning to replace those two small strings with paracord for additional strength as well.

I ran into this a week ago. In the wee hours before sunrise during nonstop winds I removed the lower keder pieces from the rail, ran the lines through the closest stabilizer and jack and reattached them. That kept it from flipping, but I had other issues with the fiberglass rod coming out of the pocket on the front end, and all the way out of the sleeve at the rear by about two feet. I'm rather proud of my craftiness at 3:15am! When I got up for the day I switched out to ratchet straps I had purchased on @Verna 's advice way back when. That, and hooking those to the rear jack and front stabilizer worked well. And yes, my black electrical tape came in handy to splint the somewhat shattered fiberglass pole once I took it out of the sleeve. I might do this on all of them before my next trip!

Our tralier is being used by some friends as a spare bedroom right now. So can’t measure. You select the length you need when ordering. I got two sets just Incase. But so far so good it’s been a year and no problems.
