Slow down. I know this sounds simplistic, but I really don't mean to be flippant. Often we encounter gusty winds between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The news if full of pictures of big rigs flipped over on the Conejo Grade and the same is true of the Palmdale Highway. At 60mph encountering a 60mph headwind can be eye-opening. Angled cross winds can similarly give you an unwelcomed thrill. Dropping your speed significantly, often to 45mph, can eliminate the pull on the awning and give you better control of the rig.
