Interstate Driving Speeds Thor Vegas / Axis

Our A.C.E. 29.2 cruises comfortably and reasonably quietly at 60-65. Loaded as typical, it weighs just under 16K lbs and with our 2500 lb toad, a Mini Cooper, even at those speeds downshifts are frequent on hilly roads so I don't use the cruise control in order to avoid that sudden downshift that results in the engine revving at 4300 rpm. I try to keep revs below 3500 rpm and just let the speed bleed off if necessary. Ive had the alignment done and installed a Safe-T-Plus but strong gusty crosswinds still feel like a slap in the face so 60mph is often our preferred speed. We were passed by a little class B rig last week while running at 65 on a Texas 2 lane so I just waved as he zoomed by.
