Reason I ask is I have had a few other coaches pass me in this crazy wind. Any tips and tricks that you can share?

Same chassis on same factory, but longer coach (more rear overhang). The only chassis mods are Sumo Maxum springs (front and rear) and SuperSteer rear track bar. I did have the front axle shimmed to 6 degrees of caster, as I have found that to be ideal in my Corvairs which are also rear weight biased with long rear overhang. I do show down in heavy, gusty, thunder storms but only because of limited visibility and fear of hydroplaning. 45 mph gusty winds of West Texas do not cause any problems at my 60 mph cruise speed. I do travel at close to my max weight at 6,100 lbs front, 11,700 lbs on the rear.
