Scamp trailor- pickup truck What if- you know there are very strong winds coming and you can put yourself in safety. Is it better to unhook camper from truck or to leave camper hooked up to truck. Or does it really make any difference.

You have too much free time if this is a concern in MN in winter….suppose you could be down in the SE where there may be some tornadoes again here soon. But you’re from MN and haven’t ever heard of what to do in a tornado warning or in a storm?

I’ll give you a clue. If you have time to hook up or un-hook your trailer but don’t think you have time to outrun the tornado, your priorities are 180degrees out of sync with normal thinking. Gtfo of your vehicle/camper and seek shelter.

If this is a hypothetical “what if it gets windy?” IDK

I'm from MN too. Yes, if a tornado is coming you should go to the safest place. Most campgrounds that is the shower house. But, we have a lot of time in advance of high winds. Haven't you ever heard of a weather report Grit dog ? Though you are from WA so maybe you don't have as good of ones out there. Thunderstorms and high winds don't sneak up on us. We have advance warnings of those. We have some advance warning for tornadoes too but, they can't predict the exact point where one is going to form or touchdown.

Maybe he is just asking so he is prepared for next summer. Nothing wrong with that.
