When you see the sleeping giants laying over taking a nap on the road or on the side of the roads is then when the media goes nuts over our winds here.

There is a stretch of highway 59 outside of Victoria that is close enough to the Gulf that will blow over big rigs like that. Son had a single wheel one ton truck to pull his camper. Was coming home off a job once and the wind blew him across both lanes on his side of the highway, across the grassy median and both lanes of oncoming traffic. Thankfully it didn't blow him over or hit anybody, That's when he got a one ton dually.

I have finished my coffee, blown my nose, all comfy with a blanket thrown over me. I must go outside and turn out dogs and sheep, feed the penned up darlings and drag hay off the round bales so that the sheep can reach it and come back inside.
In case you didn't know...
The official hurricane winds are measured above ground level, I think 50' or so. That's how "hurricane hunters" don't get blown away.

I suggest a 5th wheel and one that isn't at max height. If you have bumper pull I suggest max weight in the bed of the truck with factoring in the tongue weight of the trailer.

His camper is a 5th wheel
We get wind like that. It's been clocked at 100mph at Wanapum dam. Not a day to be outside.
Tea is done and I have 5 minutes to get a shower and get out the door... where did the time go...lol
Have a beautiful day all!
