Ike looks like it's headed straight for us (Houston, TX). I've always thought about going about 63 miles northwest to Lake Somerville (near Brenham) where our camper is and sleeping it until it passes, but how much wind would the Brenham area get if we got a Category 3 or 4 hurricane in this area, and how much wind does it take to blow over a 27' travel trailer?How much wind can a 27 ft travel trailer take?
It depends on the condition of the trailer, but chances are the trailer would take a serious beating. I'd recommend moving to a safe zone if Ike actually does make its way to you.

I'd be too scared to do that. That area would still get TS force winds at least so you'd better go further inland. Also you will get freaked out under Tornado warnings all day and night long. How much wind can a 27 ft travel trailer take?
1) The weakest part of a hurricane is the southwest quadrant. So it's always best to evacuate in that direction.
2) Ike's path is not set in stone. Wait until it clears Cuba before deciding to evacuate.
3) Mobile homes and rv trailers are extremely susceptible to tipping over in high winds. Anything over 50 mph and you're asking for trouble.
