What is your average freeway/highway speed?

If you're moseying along at your leisure doing less than 70 you should have your license revoked, your a safety issue, your risking a catastrophe, and its only a matter of time before you kill a family with 14 kids. I sure hope my family and I never get near you on the road.

At least that was the consensus in another thread just yesterday.

And what speed do you recommend in California where the speed limit is 70 for cars and 55 for anybody towing anything?

DP, 50 mph avg for planning, 300 miles per day..

The Allison shifts into 6th around 62 so 62-63.

Minimizes passing..

If the speed limit for cars is 70 then they are going 75 to 80 mph. Darn that's a big difference and it seems unsafe to me also. I do understand that's how it is where you are.

I guess you don't have to be very senior to be a senior member. This is not only inaccurate, it is rude and condescending. Speed limits exist for a reason and that limit is the "top" limit, not the required, or even suggested, speed. As questioned above, you suggest you must be driving "at least" 70 when there are many areas where the speed limit is substantially less. You have made a dangerous and inaccurate post and should apologize to everyone here for having done so.
I do drive 70-75 when appropriate but since I am currently in CA I would almost be guaranteed a ticket and roads like the 101 would throw everything in your RV off the shelves at 70+ MPH as you say is required.

Another example of the distinct lack of sense of humor on this board.........ever hear of sarcasm?

Sometimes when you can't see someone or you don't know them, you can mistake sarcasm for being just plain mean.

Humor is hard to interpret without emojis.

You know when you see a truck camper fly by like your class A was parked? You think, that jerk should slow down. Where is he in a rush to with a camper?"

Yes, that jerk is me. I maintain a smooth 80mph all day long with my TC. Diesel. I think the cops see an RV and assume their radar malfunctioned. :)

I drove my DP 400mi yesterday in 6 hours. That's averaging about 67mph but I was running 70--75 most of the time as the speed limit was 70.

My Workhorse Actia dash read out shows my average speed as 37.0 mph over 32259 miles. Check you LCD dash read out for yours.

On an interstate I usually set the cruise control at 63 mph.

My ScanGuage II also stores my average speed but that is only over the last 50 miles.
