The only time I go extremely slow on those kind of roads is when I have to cross washouts or when the road is heavily washboarded ... as one should do in any kind of RV vehicle in those scenarios.

Going 50 MPH on remote outback roads where anything at anytime could show up ahead, or from the sides, is ludicrous. At the very least, that sure woudn't be my and many people's type of "RV'ing". Even ranchers or other workers out there IMHO shouldn't blast along at those speeds - but I've seen them do it in pickup trucks when we were out there - sadly - for them and those who had to eat their dust.

I didn't take a photo - but the first 1/4 mile of the downhill entrance into Monument Valley's lower "Not Recommended for RVs" scenic loop is a nasty thing for an RV to try. With our ground clearance, wide rear track relative to coach height, stiff suspension, and at a slow speed going in and climbing out - we handled it just fine and thoroughly enjoyed the loop on the valley floor. Take a look at it the next time you're able to come and visit.

You said going 50mph on dirt roads is “ludicrous”,Going 10mph on a graded dirt road here would make you a very dangerous driver when everyone else is doing 50mph. You would be fined by the Police. Doing the same on a freeway would bring a fine.
Well I suggest you steer clear of dirt roads as you have no idea on how too drive on
