I think you made the right descision McKann. I've had a couple of TT's. The longest was a 30 ft Dutchmen. I had anti-sway and equalizer system on it. I'm not sure I could have safely pulled it without the bars. I was never real comfortable with it.
Not much problem with the 5'er. It's pretty high profile though. I try not to pull it when I know the wx is going to be gusty and if I should, I pull it slowly. I do occassionally get a push of air from an 18 wheeler passing us on an interstate. Normally not that serious though.
We were lucky the other day on our last leg home. I knew the weather was going to be bad but took a chance to get home because we had flooding conditions here. We were behind a tornadic front pushing through our area. We were listening to weather reports on the way home. The wx moving in the same direction we were, we were about 50 miles behind it, so we lucked out.
