A tip is to not tense up and "death grip" the steering wheel. There's a learned finesse - don't try to jerk the wheel to control, rather use smooth motions with a looser grip. You'll create less tension in your arms/shoulders. Also, if driving extended distances in sideways wind gusts, make more frequent stops to stretch and relax.
Unless you move up to a top-shelf diesel pusher, your driving experience will be more hectic in general. I've accepted the fact that my MH will NEVER handle/drive like my F-150. Accordingly I change my driving habits and approach when driving the MH. Yes, I'm a LOT more tired after driving the MH, but I have a comfy bed handy to rest in!!

I agree also 40 to 50 mph in wind is a sweet spot
Agree
