Are other drivers killing your RV experience?
I see frequent speeding, tailgating, a general lack of regard for other drivers. What is it making people like that? I like to help other drivers so what gives :h

I drive my car way too fast. My RV, I try to keep it around 65, (I LOVE cruise control).
The least stressful way to drive, which I try to do in my RV and do in my car when it rains or in rush hour, is making no one want to blow by you and yank in front or almost sideswipe you as punishment. Get behind a semi or RV and leave a nice no stress safe space. No one will yank in front, as they don't want to be behind the semi ahead. I find rain and rush hour becomes calm and relaxed.
Oh, when I drove semis, in 1978, the KWs held 200 and 300 gallons. That's 800 (700 really) to 1200 (really 1100) miles at 4mpg if truck stops cooperate. That said, I drove out of Dallas to LA many times. The US MAil truck (Dal LA) drove 55. I, um, definitely did not. They had 600 gallon tanks, team drivers, brought food, and peed in bottles. I went like blazes, but stopped to eat, fuel once, and pee. Even a pee stop takes 15 minutes to a half hour. I arrived in LA with the large cars, but I'd pass that **** mail truck at least twice. Grrrr!
