Cheap Sway Control
Would something like this for $45 be perfectly fine for a 15' (19' bumper to tongue) trailer, pulled by a 1/2 ton truck: Curt Manufacturing 17200 Sway Control Kit http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...

I have seen it, or at least the aftermath. NO fancy hitch is going to save you if the wind is that strong! If it can upset an 80,000 lb tractor/trailer rig, your light little RV doesn't have a chance.
A cross wind is an entirely different thing from a trailer sway event. If the highway patrol says high profile vehicles should park and wait, it most certainly means RVs. ANY RV!
Be careful out there, the world is a dangerous place!
How does one get notifications from the highway patrol? Are there signs out? Or do you have to check their Facebook page :)
I don't know about other areas, but around here, where they often have severe crosswinds, there will often be electronic readerboards alongside the highway giving advisories, or it will be announced on local radio stations, and sometimes on the NWS weather radios.
Just another reason to listen to LOCAL radio instead of satellite radio!
