I watch for Semi trucks. If the wind is high enough truckers will often pull over, stop at rest stops, or just shut down for a while in rest stops. If the trucks are rolling, I figure I can too.

I've stopped before, but there was an incredible amount of rain and bursts of wind that pushed me around like a wad of paper rolling on the ground. The rain was coming down so hard, almost everything on the road came to a stand still.

You just have to use your best judgment. Your trailer can easily take a 100 mile head-on wind blowing directly at the front of the camper (or the back). After all, they are designed to go down the road at 60, 70, 80 mph. Or more... That's an 80 mph head wind hitting the trailer.

The problem is side winds. Watch this video and the next time you are caught in a strong cross wind, .... well .... let's hope you never are....
