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. ...

A couple of years ago a camper was in the boondocking area just north of Badlands National Park. We was unhooked and parked not far from a steep drop-off when high winds came up. The winds caused his camper to break his stabilizer jacks and blew the camper over the cliff. It took several hours for emergency responders to get him out of the camper and to the hospital.
This was discussed on this forum and is the reason I leave my camper hitched and pointed toward the expected wind.
lol
You do this like all the time, or just when camped near a cliff, or just when high winds are expected? What if you're in a campsite that is perpendicular to the "wind?"
What if you have to level up or down from your hitch height? How do you leave it hooked up?
