Who knows, a direct 150 mph hit on the front of an RV, and it might survive. After all, they are made to withstand 60-70-80 mph winds (head on) on the highway!
We had a tornado go through here a few years back, the nieghbours Class A was back to the wind. After the storm passed they looked at it and thought everything including the awning was fine and so they’d have a place to stay while the (thankfully pretty minor) damage to their house was repaired .......
Till they went in the motorhome and realized the wind had sucked both roof vents off and that had let in enough air that the windshield had been vacuumed out of the frame.
Don’t be too surprised that 150 mph winds toppled 30 ton (actually a lot less since the running gear stayed behind) rail cars over, many, many, many times a day a 180 mph wind picks up a FOUR HUNDRED TON hunk of aluminum ......
It’s called a jumbo jet........
