A FEW IMPORTANT WORDS ABOUT WIND!
In high winds, the streamlined shape of an Ironhorse Trailer can be a mixed blessing.
On one hand, strong winds don’t affect Ironhorse Trailers much more than they do
a streamlined modern auto, and considerably less than a slab sided SUV or truck.
But that wind worthiness is deceptive. If you continue on your way in cross winds,
chances are you’ll be fine. But there’s also a chance that the top will lift and flap
around. So to be on the safe side, if the wind is gusting at greater than 40 mph, stop
and hole up. But if you get caught in those kind of winds a long way from cover, take
a couple of straps and loop them over the gas spring support arms and under the
pulley support arm on each corner support. Then continue at a little slower pace until
you find cover or the wind slows down.
