If you are driving in areas with strong winds, take special care. Crosswinds are the greatest threat because they can push a large motor home or a vehicle and trailer combination into another lane if you are not prepared. This is especially true for travel trailers. In most cases, going slower is the best defense against strong winds. If you are towing a trailer, you should gradually apply the trailer brakes to help control a swaying trailer.
Headwinds require a heavier throttle to maintain usual speeds.
You may be able to control an RV in strong winds, but the safest thing to do would be to pull over and wait it out. If you anticipate driving in very windy areas, call and obtain local weather and road conditions. Good sources of weather information are local airports, highway patrols, state police, or ranger stations. Often, you will see signs along the highway which show radio frequencies for weather information. Snow Always carry drive wheel and trailer wheel chains when you travel in snow country.
