In order to get the king of crosswinds represented in those pictures wouldn't they have to be 40 mph or higher directly to the side? Seems at 60-65mph with a normal 15 mph wind hitting somewhere short of directly to the side would be much less drastic. Also I was looking at an article on train crosswind analysis that shows how a big crosswind is reduced closer to the ground depending on terrain https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...Uk0dCgEYsDwY_w
We will be headed across eastern Montana in a few days to try out our new modded camper but hopefully will just face mild wind conditions.
