Are other drivers killing your RV experience?

Yes! We actually cancelled our trip from PA to Myrtle Beach SC because at 65 years old driving around the Baltimore and Washington outer loops scares me stiff. I know what its like just driving my 8,000 dually, they play with me like I'm a toy. Don't they respect size and mass? Pulling a 41' fifth wheel with a dually 4x4 8' bed is Xanax time, I can't stop this train on a dime! I try to maintain safe following distance to give me some room to stop......forget it. Three cars cut in front of me. I guess if I leave at midnight is best, shouldn't be too crazy at 2-4 am?

I wouldn’t cancel a vacation just because of traffic. I might plan a different route, or time my time passing through a given area to a slack traffic time. I am on 70’s door and will drive at a speed that works with the traffic around me. If I need I will roll at 70 although 65 is more comfortable, 5er dis LT tires with the same speed rating as our truck. Learned to dive defensively about 55 years ago. I keep an eye on all the traffic around and drive accordingly.

I will say that since Covid that drivers seem to be in a bigger hurry and I see the it is all about me attitude far more.
With all the marketing of new cars and safety features they figure the car will save them I guess.
