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 ...

I think that the size and weight of the DP makes a lot of difference, although one DP stated his FW was much better in the wind. I am sure a gas MH is much lighter and will get blown around a bit more than a DP.
My experience, driving Colorado to any point east always generates a lot of wind when we are going, is that my DP handles the wind SO MUCH better than my FW. One of the reasons I ditched the FW for the MH was the wind. So much nicer and if you have all the tanks filled at least halfway, makes it even nicer.
25 sustained wind and pull over??? You would never get out in Colorado. We are consistently 25 - 35 here. I love it when it is only that breezy. I have driven ours with sustained 35 with gusts to 45 just fine. Just south of Pueblo we felt some 50+ and boy does it hit the side of the MH and pushes me a bit but it really does not rock and tilt like the FW did. I would not venture out if the truckers are not on the roads and ever if gusts are above 45.
