When is it too windy?
We have a 40' DP, and have been on the road full-time for five years, so we're not inexperienced. But here in Laughlin, NV, the wind is rocking us as we sit in our park. We'd planned on heading north ...

We just experienced the best tail-wind ever about a month ago. We were traveling from the West going East along I-40 with 60 mph gusts. It was literally pushing us eastward. Otherwise, I would not want to drive into a 60 mph headwind....... mainly for gas mileage!
There were two full days of winds where we traveled 750 miles at about 55-60 mph. I averaged 9.1 mpg on that tank at just over 1,100 miles total. At 55,500 lbs., that is quite nice!
We don't seem to be too affected by heavy cross-winds, we certainly have to be aware but I've never been blown around too much to feel dangerous. We are fairly rock solid.
