Great comments and very helpful, thank you all!I particularly liked comparing your preferred speed with your rig for those of you who give it in a sig.
> 55 MPH feels dangerously slow on a 65 MPH highway
DH starts nagging me to turn on the emergency blinkers at that point. I ignore him. ;)
> Look at the engine specs for your rig. What is the point where you have best torque?
I am not sure what you mean, can you explain?
ETA: My underpowered DP was a Fleetwood Bounder, 34' - don't remember the year but probably 90-something. Good rig except for poking along.
Yes my rig is "vintage" (what a great alternative word to plain "old" lol) but I'm interested in what drivers of different types of rigs drive, and the responses here have been very instructive!
