I usually do the speed limit. Headwind is the worst, tore an antenna off at 75 MPH plus the 40 MPH headwind.
Why does my lower end DP not sway and gassers do? I can blow by an 18 wheeler and nothing. I guess I don't see the difference as chassis seem fairly similar except the engine placement.
Your DP has a longer wheelbase and weighs probably 20,000 lbs more than most gassers, so you are on even footing with the semis. Those are the two biggest reasons. My wheelbase for my 33 ft gasser is 208 in and I weigh 19,000 lbs loaded.
