I drove a semi back when the speed limit was 55 mph. Back then the trucks were setup out of the factory so they could not go more than 62 mph (adjustments to the fuel pump - could be changed once out of warranty). Running around 60 mph all day my "average" would still be 50 mph due to variations in traffic etc. That does not include any stops - just straight driving - on Interstate highways. On a road like the Baja when I say average I mean in a motorhome or other RV driving safely and not like a madman. Only a madman would drive at night on that road. Or drive very fast. Or pass unless totally safe. So "average" speed could be slower than expected. Odometer and watch checks to figure it out. But what is the big hurry to get to Cabo - or anywhere else for that matter. There is so much to see and do along the way. That is what this RV thing is all about. As others say - if you are in a hurry then flying would be your best bet. I do not understand RVers who only think about getting from point A to point B - or those who want to cover way too much territory. There is just way too much to see and do out there - and that is what RVing is about. Being in a hurry means passing by some of the greatest experiences you may ever have.
