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've run at 65 to 70 on I5 in the Los Angeles area, whatever speed the traffic was moving at while I am pulling a toad. The rest of the state I'm at about 55 to 60.
I ran side by side with a CHP last year at 65 to 68 and have had several CHP pass me, again while I was pulling a car.
I believe they don't want the flow of traffic to be interrupted and as long as you stay with the flow and don't change lanes a lot they are happy. Pulling you over in 6 lanes of traffic would create a massive traffic jam.
I checked with the CHP and when not pulling something you use the posted speed limit. When you are pulling something use the 55 speed limit.
