Can a parked travel trailer blow over in high winds?

I have a 35 foot travel trailer and we are supposed to have winds 40-50 mph with gusts up to 80-90 mph today. It was ok through 60 mph winds but i am kind of wondering about the higher ones.Can a parked travel trailer blow over in high winds?
Yes. Find which way the winds are coming from and don't park it broadside. Park something on the windward side to break up the flow before it gets under the trailer. Or as said, park next to a large building that will require the wind to go around it anyway.Can a parked travel trailer blow over in high winds?
Yes. I take it that you have insurance.



You can't strap it down, that would cause roof damage.



You can't lean it into the wind, the wind direction might change.



I suggest parking it close to a building, as far as wind protection.
