We spent last year riding out Irene in NH. Sustained winds of 70 and gust up to 80-85. Put the slides in and sat in the truck for about 6 hours during the worst of it. Then the winds dropped to 40 - 50 and we went back with the slides out. The toppers flapped and popped but otherwise were fine. If you get winds over 60 I would put the slides in and risk it. The trailer was very stable but the wife thought the toppers were going to go at any minute.
