How much wind is dangerous?
All these storms moving through here got me thinking. What wind speed makes you pull over and wait it out?

Among boat captains there is and old adage...
The only weather you can control is the weather you choose to leave in...
After ignoring this wisdom three times and nearly dying all three times it finally sank in. It is just as applicable to RV'ing as boating. With today's internet/smart phones etc., there is no excuse for being surprised by the weather.
But, to answer your original question once the winds gets got be consistently above 35 mph I generally start looking for some place to hunker down. Keep in mind that a steady wind of 35 will often generate gusts of 50 or more. My 24'Class C will handle a lot more wind than most RV's but that does not mean it is always fun.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV
