How do all the wonderful pegs recommended in this thread cope with very sandy soil and high winds?
Ours were quite long and we never pitched the caravan on the beach. No issue with high winds and we encountered so really strong winds.

One site we stopped at in the Outer Hebrides was on "machair" and no-one seemed to have very good pegs, at least not good enough when a storm force 10 came in - even the campers flattened their tents and slept in their car!

Mine didn’t at Freshwater East. CMHC where the pitches c were sand and soaking wet as a gale hit. Spent most of the night rigging extra guys and holding it down. So next day went out and bought some extra long J shaped pegs for marquees. After that I always had four J pegs with me to supplement the other fixings.

We have always carried the marque J pegs mainly for the canopy. Didn't you have a storm strap etc for a situation as you described?
