🚐 RV Wind Danger: What Wind Speed Is It Dangerous To Drive In?
Traveling from Arizona to Texas, we got caught in dangerous dust storms and high winds that forced us to change our plans. In this essential RV safety video, we break down exactly what wind speeds are too dangerous for driving different types of RVs:
Under 20 MPH: Generally safe, but stay alert
20-30 MPH: Exercise caution, slow down
30-45 MPH: Dangerous - consider getting off the road
45+ MPH: Extremely hazardous with high rollover risk
We share our real experience getting stuck in Deming, NM during a severe dust storm with zero visibility, and how we used RV Trip Wizard to monitor conditions and safely plan our route to Van Horn, TX.
Learn how to:
✅ Check wind forecasts before traveling
📱 Use technology like RV Trip Wizard to monitor weather conditions
🚐 Know your personal driving limits
💨 Adjust your driving technique in windy conditions
🤔 Make smart decisions about when to quit driving
Plus, we meet up with friends John & Donna @CoddiwompleTravelers who share their perspective on handling a fifth wheel in high winds.
If you're an RVer concerned about safety, this might be the most important video you watch all year!
