Yes, keep it at 60 or slower. You can't predict when emergency situations will happen. The difference in surviving at 60 mph and even 65 mph is major.

Southern Utah and Northern Idaho/Montana

Too difficult to pick the best state, so Southern Utah, Northern Idaho, Northern and western wyoming, and parts of Montana.

We love our ACE. I'm also very very mechanical and have fixed a few things and I expected to have to be fixing a few things. All are in the minor category (for me), but if I had to have a shop do...

Anyone who buys a motor home needs to have a basic set of mechanical and electrical skills. I simply could not afford a motor home if I had to rely on MH dealers and shops. First their rates are...
