Yup, he is probably sitting there drinking coffee, switching channels on his TV, listening to his CB while talking to his next hub wandering why is everybody in a hurry.Two miles after getting on the freeway from a long custom ramp made especially for a new truck stop, the diesel pusher was going this fast on the 75mph i40.
You've missed that it's not about you.I set the peg at 60 mph and enjoy the ride. If I was in a hurry, I wouldn't have taken the motor home! Last summer I took a 5,000 mile trip, kept to the scenic backroads rather than divided highways. A lot of nice country and very few billboards. I track my mileage closely and I get 11-12 mpg at 60 mph, 9.5-10 mpg at 65 mph (in a 2023 Axis 24.1).
So, here's the breakdown. Over 2 /12 weeks I spent an extra 6 1/2 hours more drive time, about 30 extra minutes/drive day. I burned about 100 fewer gallons of gas.
It's all your own personal preference I guess.

Considering that I am a huge target. I set cruise control at the speed limit on a flat road.For you guys in a hurry, if the speed limit sign says 65, how much do you feel you can safely exceed that and not get a speeding ticket?
Perfect.Considering that I am a huge target. I set cruise control at the speed limit on a flat road.
Nor is it about you. We're all in this together, we have to learn to be tolerant. If I am slower than the general population on a two lane road I will pull off and let those behind go by. On a multi-lane highway I stay to the right and let the rabbits have the left lane. 10 mph faster over the course of a few hours shortens the travel time by minutes.You've missed that it's not about you.

But that's the new American way. Haven't you been paying attention? The 99% is supposed to bow to the 1%.The
nor you
You speak of is 99.99 % of the populace NOT doing 10 under as a solely self considereaction.
It defies logic that all must bow to so few as those who can't or won't.
In what other aspect of life do we casually expect all persons to be hindered by few due to those few's self?
We have a thor magnitude ga 24, 2022 vehicle, 24" lg ford E-350. Somewhere between 53 and 58 mph.We are new to the motor home experience and taking our first 500 mile trip in our 2020 Thor Windsport 29M. What kind of highway speed should I realistically expect on the interstate towing and not towing?
