We passed many that were driving very slowly 9maybe 35 mph), probably trying to protect their truck beds from being damaged by the trailer? In other words, if you're driving on a roller coaster - a short wheelbase is your friend. Now granted - a lot of 5th wheels go to Alaska; I'm just saying you might own the better RV for it right now?
