I have yet another question, I put the Gizmos on both sides as I normally do, but for some odd reason, the wind keep blowing the one off, besides using the velcro on the camper and using four alligator clips on both sides, what else could I do to prevent that from happening again?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Stop by HD and pick up a couple better clips, some of the little fellas just don't have much grab to them. If you have a Woodcraft around they have them too, take one of your for comparison. Did you get the covers with the storm cord sewn in? I use 5 clips per side and have the storm cords, if you don't you may need some clips on the end when the wind kicks up.

An FYI to all: Lowes has a bag of plastic clips/clamps of various sizes for about $10. I got these to supplement my PUG clips if needed and because there is less to rust. I've been finding all kind of uses so far! The come in a mesh draw-string bag to keep them all in one place, too.
