What to do in high crosswinds
On our way back from Florida we had a lot of rain and 30mph crosswinds and had to fight to keep the motorhome on our side of the road. This made for a not so nice drive home. We have a 2004 Four Winds...

I was not going over 55mph because of the crosswind and had other motor homes pass me and seem to be doing ok I guess. This is why I did not pull over. If they can keep on going I figured I could also and just fought it. Also seen other motorhomes coming from the other direction heading south doing about 65 or more. I was wondering what did they have that I did not. But think most were D-Pushers. How come they do not seem to be pushed around as I was? I saw some big rigs being pushed around a little. They too were passing me.
In my experience it is as much about the individual driver as it is about the coach itself. People have different levels of experience with large vehicles as well as naturally different tolerances.
I have repeatedly heard where one driver is completely happy with a given setup and another driver is completely dissatisfied with the exact same setup.
The moral of the story is you should never drive in a situation that feels scary to YOU, regardless of what others are doing. I would park somewhere next time.
