Well for the first time ever we are delaying a weekend away in the caravan. We were due to travel to Aberporth in the morning, but the winds there are forecast gusting to 57mph. I know it is worse further north.
Our Coachman seems pretty sturdy in a blow, better than the Abbey before (perhaps because the sides were fibreglass rather than aluminium?) Once or twice when its been really bad we have turned the caravan in to the wind and more often parked the car (good old Disco!) between the caravan and prevailing wind direction but I don't think we have ever been blown at over 50mph before.
Apart from the obvious risk towing and prompted by the piece in the magazine about the Bailey that was rolled over (Ouch!), I wondered if there is any data from the manufacturers or anywhere else on just what it takes to blow a tourer over when pitched?
