RE: Hurricane Irma Aftermath
I live in Big Pine, Fl. One of the hardest hit by Irma.
New homes in Monroe County are built to withstand 155 mph wind.
A lot of the new homes are modular, built in factories, of wood frame construction. They have such features as steel straps around the rafters, "hurricane" windows, and hardie board siding.
They are elevated, on concrete columns 8' or so high.
There is some added cost, but not a huge amount.

RE: Hurricane Irma Aftermath
My next-door neighbors still haven't heard if their Bonita Springs house survived Irma;

RE: Bahia Honda SP
The above photos are from Sandspur campground. A campground for smaller vehicles and tents. Same thing in the last hurricane, Sandspur was closed for a couple of years. Not the same for the Buttonwood or the rest of the park.

RE: Bahia Honda SP
I have a house in Big Pine, right next to the deer and bird refuge. It's on the open water of Pine channel. I'm not there. I was watching my security cameras on my phone and saw that a 35' tree was down. This was at 6pm yesterday. The storm had hardly got started. I am no longer getting cameras on my phone. 120 mph wind was reported at the Big Pine refuge.

RE: Inverter use
I have a factory installed 3000 watt inverter. All of the "outlet" circuits are connected. Also lighting and microwave.

RE: Price thoughts on this fiver
I had a 2004 Newmar Mountain Aire. Paid $57 for it new, sold it 3 years ago for $24.
The Newmar was every bit as nice as that DRV and more! It had a gross of 20K, I think that DRV is 16K.
