Towing Speed - Am I Going Too Slow?!
I'm currently camping on our first long trip in our trailer (previous two trips were only 5 - 10 mins away). We went from Littleton, CO up 285 to Buena Vista, CO, which is about 2.5 - 3 hrs towing....

One other point. We have driven for miles where it looked like we were holding up traffic .... until .... we noticed that there were passing zones everywhere. It seems some folks LIKE to follow a big white wall. So IMHO if there are passing zones, and nobody is passing you, they are either too dumb to actually be driving, or they LIKE the speed you are going. In either of those cases, pulling over is not necessay.
I rarely tow over 55 mph unless I'm caught in a rush hour and am holding everyone up. Then I pop up to 65 mpg for awhile.
Chuck,
That is a good point about the number of folks who just stay behind. I see that often, folks just stay back there even though there is a wide open highway with no oncoming traffic. Suits me....they can stay back there if they want.
Another thing I have noticed, since I almost exclusivly run the two lane roads, is that often, those that do catch up to me, are local anyway, so many times they just stay back there because they know they will be turning off the road soon.
