High Winds

[Noble95]

Hi all,

Towing a 3.4m rib back from Devon tomorrow, circa 150 miles.

Looks like 50+ mph winds.

Is there a point it’s unsafe to tow?

I'd be happy towing in that wind. RIB's are pretty low profile and the wheel track is generally quite wide. If you compare yourself against a caravan, you are probably quite compact.

Likewise, would only worry if I had a high sided trailer. Wind tends to induce snaking as the trailer gets pushed about, but on a 3.4m rib their isn't really the weight in the trailer to do this nor the height/side profile to act as a sail.


If you do feel uncomfortable you can always knock the speed back but doubt it will be an issue for you.


Cheers,


Paul.
