Drive speed, wheel chocks

Hello everyone,

We do not have a unit yet but are seeking a Vegas/Axis 24.1 as our first RV and have enjoyed the information in the forum.

Couple of questions, in good weather and road conditions on the Interstates can you/should you drive an RV this size at 75-80 mph (I-70 speed limit Colorado-Utah)? Wondering about sudden side wind and shortening the life of the unit. I am used to wind concerns at highway speeds on my motorcycle but being a newbie know nothing about motor homes. I realize gas mileage probably suffers.

Secondly when parked in a level camp spot with full hookups, would I use wheel chocks like my RV trailer friends or do you just set the emergency brake or just put it in park and call it good?

Thanks.
