Hey, all!
I wasn't sure where to post this, but with the huge winds Southern CA had a few weeks ago (we're talking 6 tracker-trailer rigs flipped on their side on the same freeway stretch ~ and they weren't all hauling empty!) I was curious.
I know that Newell's have a much lower center of gravity, and that relatively little of any weight is located very high. Not sure if having the engine in rear as well as drive wheels rear-driven had any effect good or bad.
When "High Wind Warnings for High Profile Vehicles" are posted, how have your Newell's reacted when driving?
-- Avoid at all costs?
-- Other than worrying about awnings, no effect?
-- It takes pilot and co-pilot together on the wheel to keep it on the road?
-- Only downside is co-pilot refuses to ever open door (messess her hair up something fierce!)?
Would love hear of your experiences!
