My anemometer keeps getting knocked out of its base, by low branches. Anyone else having this problem? What is the fix . . . besides avoiding branches . . . some kind of cage?

I think they get fragile over time due to sun exposure. The bad part is that you can't just replace the cups on top, you have to replace the entire device...over $100 for parts alone. It's not difficult to do, just a pain when the cups should cost $5-6 and just bolt onto the shaft of the anemometer. Make sure you route the cable on the new anemometer through the BOTTOM and not the side. Don't ask how I know this.
I guess I'll try to avoid overhanging trees from now on.

Thanks David . . . I understand. Someone suggested a small cage to cover it but let wind through. Might work.

Lee, I installed a cage over the anemometer on previous Monaco Dynasty. I'm sure it will work on our CC. The dimensions may differ somewhat. I purchased it from;
Lawler Specialties Inc.
7027 Highway 25,
Montevallo, Alabama 35115
I'm on the road now but when I get home I may have some pictures of the installation, if anyone is interested.

Here is a wild guess: Could this be the same type of cage that is used to protect lights in the marine industry? I seem to remember that some of them are powder coated castings and others are welded stainless rod stock. The brand names that come to mind are Perko and Balmar. I hope this helps.

Most tree damage is on curb side of coach? Anemometer survive longer on road side?

I guess CC blew that one as the hole and mount is on the curb side.

Here is another wild idea. In the arena of plumbing supply you will find cages that are called out as "Floor Drain Strainer Domes" They are available in Stainless steel or cast. I do not know what size would be needed to cover your anemometer. Just a thought for your consideration.

Daron, I think you are on to something. I did a quick Google search and found some possibilities for $20 or less. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks, Lee Lee Zaborowski, Jeanne Bortz
