Our camper van (which is a tall sail) compensates for sidewinds. Other RVs can have this feature as well, though often as aftermarket fitment. Pretty neat when it works, “man, sure is windy today, but this van is a lot easier drive in the crosswind than our old RV. Oh…”
But an RV is not a semi tractor-trailer setup. In fact, crosswind compensation is something I’ve only seen on RVs that don’t involve a trailer (Class A, Class C). And for a semi, how much is in the trailer? Seems a compensation system would need to know that.
