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...

The speed limit is whatever speed traffic is moving at. I drive the So Cal freeways almost daily. I've driven beside semis doing 75 and I've also followed PITA drivers doing 50, yes 50, in the carpool lane. I've been passed by CHPs while I was driving 80 and I've seen them ignore semis doing between 60 and 70.
I try not to exceed 60 towing my Jeep, but, that don't always happen.
Not towing I keep up with traffic, but, below 70.
In my car, as fast as I can get away with.
Keep up with traffic and you'll be fine.
Just because you've seen people do it and not get tickets doesn't make it legal. If you got passed by a CHP while you were doing 80 it's because he was going to catch somebody doing 90 or was going to an accident. You simply lucked out.
