We haven't put that many miles on our recently acquired Newmar, but so far, I prefer to stick to 60-65 mph and I'm content to stay in the right lane and let others pass on by.
I'm pretty good about "keep right except to pass" (the DW would probably say anal), but all my close calls have been in the right lane. People merging see a motor home and feel the need to get in front rather than follow. On a busy I-95 in FL, I was dead stopped in the right lane behind a bus which was behind a broken down car. With people swerving at the last minute, I figured it was only a matter of time before we were rear-ended by a truck.
Since I started towing, I now use the center lane when there are more than 2 lanes. I have to grit my teeth when people go by on the right, because I know they're yelling at me that same way I would be yelling :)
