Good morning!
In yesterday's video, Chad from Changing Lanes was discussing how to prepare for stormy weather. He suggested that you should know at what wind speed you will park the rig. He further suggested asking folks with similar rigs what their protocol is. So that is the basis for my question.
For those of you with a 2970RL or similar sized travel trailer, (34 feet long, 9000 lbs Gross weight) at what wind speed would you park the rig and wait it out?
From my own experience, I have towed my 2970RL in up to a 20 mph cross wind at a speed of up to 60 mph. (I normally do not tow above 60 mph). I have experienced such a cross wind in both moderately heavy Interstate traffic, and light traffic on secondary roads. I have not towed in any stronger wind than that. At those wind speeds and vehicle speeds, I never felt uncomfortable with how the rig handled and behaved. I would like for those of you who have towed in high winds to share your experience and limits so I have a better chance of keeping myself out of trouble.
Thank you!
Bob
