I would NOT worry about wind blowing the trailer over in anything short of tornado/hurricane/microburst. Outside of extreme wind conditions, I've never heard of a trailer just falling over.
A couple of years ago on another forum an owner had his relatively new travel trailer parked on his driveway, a wind storm came through and pushed the trailer over on to it's side. :E His post was to question whether to expect just minor (repairable) damage or major structural damage ... as I recall the outcome was the latter and the insurance company wrote off the trailer. I saw the series of pics, just can't find the link now - unfortunate as they were quite impressive.
My response was in regard to the comment that "even a small wind" could flip the trailer.
I'm not saying it couldn't happen in an extreme storm but it's such a rare event I just let the insurance company deal with it if I won the wind lottery.
Now if a hurricane was bearing down and I could move the trailer to a more sheltered locations, that would be a different story but forecast of 10-15 out of the west and I'm not going to worry, they don't fall over that easy.
