I have noticed that my tie downs have considerable slack in them. Do these need to be adjusted from time to time? I live in central Wisc. and we do get frost. How tight should I adjust them?

Hi

Taut in the summer. You'll need to loosen them in the winter in Wisc.

As for me....it's taut all year in sunny Florida.

Aside from the roof leak, soft floors, rats, mice and bursted plumbing ........ how do you like it?

I wonder how many people actually do adjust these 2x a year? If ever!
