Windy in Philly
Hi All, So we are in the Philly area where it has been very windy the past few days along with the snow and rain. I have an appt to drop off trailer to get work done but the wind gusts will be near 40...

IMO, there are too many factors involved, like wind direction, roadway surface, bridges over rivers which the valleys create wind tunnels etc .
I would think an empty box (like a TT) would be more susceptible to being blown over opposed to loaded box.
It would probably help in a windy situation to have a full tank of water keeping the COG lower.
I noticed a big difference in hauling truck campers with slides and no slides. Slide model had basements, making the unit taller and YES I could really feel the difference in crosswinds.
IN any RV type : If winds are more than a steady 25-30 mph, I feel more comfortable holding off till they die down. Too much chance for a strong gust from the wrong direction to take me by surprise.
Big box store parking lots sometimes rock ! :B
