I don't think it would be hard to find a place on the trailer to tie down from. The axles or spring hangers should be strong enough. The problem is what to anchor to, some kind of eye ring that would lay flat when not in use, and set into the ground in concrete comes to mind. It really is not much different from mooring a boat. The marine industry has lots of fittings that would work.

On a more short-term practical level, I think that there are a few simple things you can do on the spot if you believe you may be caught out in a bad storm. 1) Drain and rinse your tanks, then fill them (almost) full with water, this will put about a ton of weight down low between the frame members. 2) Pull in any slide outs on the lee side, leave out any on the windward side, obviously you want any awnings to be retracted as well. 3) Hooking up to the truck might also help, but in the worst case scenario, you may need that truck to make a quick exit. 5) Secure or put away all loose objects like lawn chairs.
