California interstate speed limits
What is the legal speed limit for a motor home with 2 axels not towing on I-5? State normal speed limit is 55 except where posted other wise. Car speed limit not towing is 70 on I-5, can a M/H run 70...

I drive/tow in California quite often and I stick between 55-59 mph. I've never been pulled over and I stay far to the right as possible. If there are four or more lanes, I might hang in lane #2 as to avoid merging traffic.
Speaking of merging traffic, my experience driving in most all states is that people DO NOT know how to merge. On occasion, my air horns will wake them up. Especially in California when I'm driving between 55-59 mph, the mergers should accelerate as their speed limit is 70 mph. They slowly drive up and don't even look to see if there is any traffic. So, if I can't get over, they either have to speed up or wait until I get by. I just hope that they know I have a tow vehicle and not merge too soon!
