Georgia is still cold in February

We got to Sherry's the next night just before the rain. When I got up to dewinterize the trailer, I found a rock guard about to fall off. The next two days I spent modifying their design and stabilizing the guard. 

When we left the temperature was at or below zero. Needless to say, I did not de-winterize the trailer until Georgia. So, I closed all the drains. Filled the fresh water tank and reconnected the water pump. One day was so warm comparatively, I even washed the trailer. Wonder what it would look like if I waxed and polished. Naa that sounds like too much work. 

Stayed in Georgia with temps below freezing. Actually we stayed at Sherry's farm house. So it was warm inside. 
The trailer was winterized in Ohio so we unwinterized it. We got all the things working, but I noticed a problem with the rock shield on the front curb side. Not a big problem, it was just coming off in the wind. I could just see this large panel tearing off and smashing into some poor old lady's windshield. Then the lawyers would get involved and I would have to sell my house to pay for damages to the car, her dress, emotional stress, and the lawyer's kid's tuition. (I think I am letting my imagination go wild.)
So I fixed it. 
If you look right behind the shield you can where the trailer was getting rubbed. Yes, it would have shortly flown off.
