Winds up here are not uncommon, 30 is high, but I have done many trips with 30mph side winds at 65-70 and no issues. The biggest problem is watching for the overpasses where the wind stops.
I will say that we rented a couple of Class C's a few years back and drove to Reno with 30mph winds, about 1/3 of the trip was a cross wind and that was a workout. Mostly due to 2 things, E-450 steering is typical Ford junk and the wheelbase on the Class C I was driving was very short for the total length and the front felt very light.
Similar conditions in my sig truck/TT is not a workout, just drive.
