driving speed

We tow the Honda CRV which limits us to stay under 65. Wife lets me know if I get too close to 65. Her CRV.

Depending on road conditions, traffic etc.
We keep up, with the traffic, on Interstates and four lanes etc.
On rural roads or light traffic we don't go much over fifty, unless the speed limit is lower and we go slower. In other words prudent speeds.

It's not how fast you can go but how well you can stop.

My Allison trans hits sixth speed at 55 mph so I try to keep it between 55 and 60. I plan to flat tow a GMC Terrain and it says the max. speed is 65.
I find when driving my motorhome, I have a different frame of mind than when in a car and just enjoy the ride at whatever speed.

mTrumpet's answer is the best. Each coach type has a sweet spot where it just feels right. If you push past, temps go up and things start to mumble. I know people that run at 75 towing when they can and claim that's where the coach is happiest.

Running 55 on roads posted for 65 and greater will not make you any friends. Just sayin'.

60 MPH, gets the Allison into 6th gear. Above that and the already poor MPG, goes down faster.

On the interstate system, when the speed limit allows me, I set the cruise control at 67 mph. It's a safe speed for me, and I get suitable fuel mileage.

I generally try to hold around 62 mph. My MH will certainly run faster then that and if I find myself getting up there to far to often, I'll set the cruise control.

Of course I'll do faster if needed to pass someone. I love the RVs that go like mad passing you on the flats an then can't hold 50 mph on the hills.

No, I don't have a "Vehicle in Tow" sign on my toad. As close as it is to the rear of the MH, I hope people can figure it out. It doesn't really matter if they realize it or not as long as they stay a safe distance from it and all of the lights are working on it.

I've found "sweet spots" where my rig cruises nicely at 62, 64 & 67 mph (based on my GPS readout), so that's where I tend to run it down the interstate. When not pulling the toad, I've hit 75+ a couple of times for short bursts, but I certainly don't typically cruise at those speeds for long periods.

On secondary highways, I'll keep at the posted speeds and on two lane roads I'll typically find myself below posted speeds to reduce constant slowing on curves, blind intersections, etc. I'm always trying to expect the unexpected.

If, when on a two lane secondary road, I notice traffic starting to line up behind me and the road is not condusive to increasing speed safely, I'll try to move over and let traffic by, provided that there is a safe place to do so.

As others, I run at 55 off the interstate highways where possible. I'd rather run through small towns than risk another blowout trying to keep it at 65.
