Wind scares the **** out of me

Yep 5th wheel is way better in the wind.

Bumper pulls will give you the white knuckle experience. Next rv, try a fifth wheel. They tow a lot better in a crosswind as well as when an 18 wheeler rolls by...

A also believe the light weight affects it more. We were recently in 35-40 mph winds with gusts to 60. While we were only going 20 mph because of blowing sand, our 43' 19,400 lb rig pulled by our 1 ton DRW felt stable and solid. I remember when we lived in OK pulling our 19' boat with a van in moderate winds and whipping all over the road. More weight matters in this case.

Our first trip with our old bumper pull Raptor, being pulled with an F-150, was across I-80 and then up Highway 191 in Wyoming. We pretty much thought we were going to die the entire trip. We ended up leaving the trailer in Pinedale, WY for my Father in Law (who is a hotshot driver) to bring back for us. We upgraded to an F-250 after that and it still wasn't a super pleasant experience.

Now with a 5er and a DRW, it's quite nice :)

I think the lighter shorter trailers are more affected by wind than larger heavier ones. My 35' high profile 5er is barely affected in those winds. And I have done it a number of times, especially across the TX panhandle. And longer heavier ones probably even less. Heck, my truck moves more without the trailer on than it does with it hooked up.

We all get concerned in wind whether on the road or parked. Key is to know when to pull off, stop and, hopefully, point the TV and trailer into the wind. Bad wind in Lone Pine last month..thought the TT would blow over at Tuttle Creek BLM. It did slide off the wooden block under the jack...but no damage.
