Large rectangular objects like barns, house trailers and vanagons do not do well in the wind. You can minimize the ill effects by optomizing over-all handling. Air pressure makes a big difference...some say 48lbs in all 4 tires...others say 38-43lbs. up Front and 46-53lbs in the rear. If you are currently running 32lbs, just going up to 40lbs will provide a big improvement. If your shocks or front-end components are worn, replacing them will also improve stability and handling in the wind. You should have good tires, too. I do not know whether steering sensitivity can be adjusted...if this is necessary...something probably needs to be repaired or replaced. brad horner wrote: > I would like to know what can be done to keep my van stable > in the wind.
