I need some opinions on how much cross wind our 5th wheels can safely handle. Our rig is a 42ft Montana pulled by a 1 ton dually Ford. In round numbers the trailer weighs 17,000 lbs loaded and the truck is 7,500 lbs. We're touring most of the mid-west and western states, but we got a wind advisory for the area in Iowa we are headed to. Wind gusts are expected to reach 50 mph. We don't feel comfortable driving through winds that high, so we may delay and wait for a better day. What have you experienced and are we being too cautious.
