Building Homes or Extensions/vinyl siding on mobile home

Question
i have a 2006 16 by 72 mobile home with vinyl siding.  my question is: is there anything i can install exteriorly on the home to further protect vinyl siding from wind  getting under siding causing it to blow off?  i live in hurricane proned south louisiana.  thanks very much

Answer
wow, this is a good one! I can't think of a thing that would work in your situation that would look good. Anything that can hold vinyl on is going to look like crap....
I think that when you do something it should be to remove the vinyl and apply some sturdier product...like "hardi-plank" or wood.
