Class A Wind Handling
We just upgraded our 27' class C to a 2016 35' class A Winnebago Sunstar LX. My biggest trepidation in the upgrade is how it will handle in the wind. I have read several things about gas class A coach...

Without a doubt, one of the best answers I've ever seen on here, period. At the risk of sounding a bit caustic, if one is gonna buy one these rolling Kleenex boxes, one is gonna have to put up with any and all consequences of driving it. Wind, rain, bad roads, effects from passing and oncoming 18 wheelers, up hill, down hill, long grades, tight passages like the 550 in Colorado, and more and more. Driving these is not the same as driving a VW. Concessions have to be made and or learned.
Get out there and drive it. If the wind comes up, deal with it. We'd all like to have PERFECT driving conditions, for every mile we travel, AIN'T HAPPENING!!!!

/\ This. As I've mentioned before, it didn't take me long this past year to learn the MH TELLS ME how fast it wants to go, not the other way around. To much wind - slow down. Super rough road - slow down. My rule #1 - I'm never in a hurry. Rule #2 - If I get in a hurry refer back to rule #1. As both FIRE UP and Chum Lee has said in one of my threads, it's not a race car. It's not even an SUV. It's a huge top-heavy box rolling down the road.
