Based on our prior experience with TTs, and bearing in mind that the 5er is both heavier and higher profile, I have set my limits at forecast 20-30 steady state and if gusts are estimated to be above 35-40, then that's when we start looking for alternate stopping area. Coming across I-40 in New Mexico last fall, we had gusts (direct cross) to about 40 with F-150/Jayco bumper tow 36', and although I was nervous and we got pushed around, it was no problem.

I should mention also that we base what we are going to do somewhat on what is coming at us from the opposite direction, figuring if they did it, we can, too.

Monty 3730FL, with F-250 SRW now.
