I can remember one incident almost 30 years ago in Montana, with my first aero trailer. It had full skirts and covered wheels and tires just like this one. We had a full load heading to Canada, but the high cross-winds almost blew us completely off the road. I don't know if the skirts contributed to that.
I have been in contact with the trailer manufacturer, and others, and they have not heard of any incidents like this one with trailers with skirts. But remember, this is one of the only van trailers on the planet with
full side skirts. All other trailers only have half the surface area of these skirts.
I have never heard of an empty moving van trailer blowing over, but I am sure it happens. They have side panels just as low, and much smaller tires.
