I'd like to know where these 55-60mph RVers are? I have not seen any.
I am not the fastest dog on the race track but I am not the slowest either. At 63-65mph, where the truck seems happy in top gear & at about 1900RPM, many more pass me than I go by. Seen my share of crazy people. Much prefer to have them whiz by & be gone & hope that they don't crash & hold me up further down the road.
Travel with the flow of snowbirds on the SC/GA/FL portion of I-95. I guarantee that you will see at least one RV at a CRAWL, at least once an hour. I have ever watched traffic scatter like roaches, up ahead, as cars smoke to a stop, cars and trucks dive into the shoulder,and I tell the wife a wreck must of just happened up there! Nope, just a ancient one driving a motorhome at 50, or 55, and everybody was asleep as the pack closed in on the old guy.
I agree that it's something you don't every really see in other parts of the highway system, but that stretch is a special ring of hell. Not an hour passes in that mess where I'm not shouting to my wife, "holy sheet, did you see THAT!" Seen everything from a Corolla heading back to Canada with a big Fiberglas "egg" trailer behind it. The car was on all the bump stops, not only because it was pulling well over a ton of camper,but the interior of the car was hoarder full, with just enough room for the driver, and going less than 50. I have observed countless, Junkyard grade, Class A craptastic rigs that should of been off the road, years ago, and struggle to maintain a safe speed. It's really an amazing experience, every time, not pleasant, or relaxing, but always memorable.
