We had a windy night while we were out this weekend and it got me to thinking. How high wind speed would it take directly from the side to flip a parked trailer?
I spent the night in my RV during Hurricane Opal. The wind speed on the hill about a half mile from where I was parked was measured at 96 mph that night. The 24 foot travel trailer was rocking pretty good, but didn't flip. We weren't getting a direct hit on the side. We were backed in north-westerly and the wind was coming from the south. Not an experience I would like to repeat.
