If you are OK with the trailer other than this wind thing, which could just be a one off. I would keep it and get use to it. Don't box yourself in by being uncomfortable, that is something you will regret, even more. Of course a person can get use to almost anything, even a smaller than you need box. Other than driving this thing through NYC or LA, which you probably not doing, you most likely go the worse over with. You are free of needing to be at point A on this day and this time....


even if it takes longer plan your west trips to drive into the wind LOL

Great advice. I accidentally followed it, lol. I stuck with it, slowed down (I think I was driving way too fast), and things went much better yesterday.

Also, I am gaining experience pulling the trailer and dealing with the wind.

I am now in Sioux Falls, and am settled here for a few days taking care of all the admin details of my move. So no more hard driving for a while.

And yes, driving north and south sucks on the prairie with a trailer, but now, most of my travels will be west, more or less.
