Our first adventure of this trip! It's getting dark and the wind is howling around our RV. Driving against the strong wind, suddenly we feel cold air pouring in the front windshield somewhere. It's 58 degrees outside, but the wind chill feels like it's around 40 so it's pretty cold. What's up with this?
Stopping when we can get off the long Louisiana bridge, my husband finds that the front windshield seal that connects the top cap to the RV Coach is coming loose. Now what? He immediately slows down to try to stop the wind from taking the cap off!
Stopping as soon as we find a Lowe's Hardware Store, we buy some outdoor duck tape.You know the strong grey tape that can fix just about anything temporarily.
So he climbs to the top rung of our traveling ladder and proceeds to tape and tape. While I hold his ladder. Then he gets down and we move the ladder over a little, he climbs back up and tapes some more. He taped and taped! Hey what else can be done? We are not even close to big RV service center and there is no way this RV top cap or windshield is coming off!!!
Over and over - he wrapped it tight. The cap, the windshield, the glass - everywhere.
Now we see if it will hold. We only have 20 miles to go before we get to the Atchafalya River Rest area for the night. Put our trusty ladder back - it's one of those things that one should never travel without on a big RV. 
And now we have found another thing to never be without again - duck tape! 
In the morning we can check it in the light.
