68 MPH????? check your tires. There is really good chance you are out running your tires. Maybe by only 3 MPH, but still hurting them. so you may want to slow down, and let the crazies go.
You are correct, if it were hot out I definitely would but it's been in the low 60s and cloudy not that it makes a difference or make it right. One thing I will tell you is that of the four hours on the highway today we passed not one other RV out there and the roads were filled today with them, we got passed by just about every other RV on the road today. A few of us kept in line and pace with each other. I may be one of the crazies but I was the slowest of the crazies.
We just received our unit as a warranty replacement for our old one. My short list includes upgrading with quality tires with a higher speed rating, I'd still be the slow one though lol

Most people I've talked to who own trailer campers (TT, 5th, HTT, Popup) have NO IDEA that the camper's tires are usually only rated for 65mph.
"It tows great at 75mph!" - I hear that all the time. Many times from guys that tow trailers daily for work. Landscapers, excavation, etc. The amount of people out there who have no idea about what the capabilities of what they are driving are... well, best not to think about it.
I also love seeing those little Harbor Freight home utility trailers with 9" wheels being towed on the highway.
It is amazing how few accidents actually occur on the roadways.
P.S. Oh and I'm a 68mph towing guy. Not really sure why I like that speed. Just livin' on the edge.
