I think there are less considerate drivers these days.
But killing your RV experience? Really? I guess if I got in a wreck, then yes. But like the guy who had his rig totaled, it would only kill it long enough to buy a new one.
I drive at the pace I feel comfortable with, and generally in the first lane. Usually not a huge deal that would ruin my experience.

What prompted me to bring this up is I just got in from a 1300 mile trip, 80% on byways and backroads. Most are very nice, even had a big rig stop to see if I was alright while I made a phone call, but on two occasions people came up behind at a high rate of speed tailgated and when I couldn't pull off they passed in a double yellow zone even though they could not see who was coming. Very alarming!
Another occasion on a double laned passing lane going up a grade they refused to go around even though no one else around....and tailgated me. I kept slowing down to make it better for them to pass, but refused until I got to the campground to turn . It was very weird having a driver refuse to do what was right and good to do. I don't understand what the problem was.
When I got to a very nice town with a Safeway on main street in a 25 zone I sat in amazement in the parking lot and watched trucks and cars go by just speeding like there's no tomorrow. They were all on my rear while I thought I should do the 25 MPH because of all the crosswalks, homes and businesses.
I'm sorry this stuff affects me the way it does.... I won't be giving up RVing anytime soon.
