Do the gusts effect anyone else this way? Felt kind of guilty with everyone on the interstate having to pass. Not used to not "leading" the parade...
Have to admit, still new at handling the coach, but the VEGAS really does handle great

Mike...we encounter extreme winds going west from KC area ... western KS, Okla & Texas are always a challenge. Last summer, with our new Axis, Ron was constantly fighting it. Like you, he is used to leading the pack..however, he has surrendered that role and drops his speed to reasonable under those conditions..and under normal conditions...he seldom runs over 65 ...
2 weeks ago, we were near Emporia, KS when a storm hit..extreme heavy rain/small hail (no damage) .. slowed to 20mph just to see road...no place to stop...lasted about 5 minutes...
As documented in another post....Ron installed Sumo Springs to replace the bump stops ... oem bump stops left too much space before they came into play...this summer on the most recent trip he was very pleased with the handling in the cross winds, etc.
We will report more results when we head to Colorado in a few weeks.
