I was enjoying the wind buffet waltz with my 25 ft. TT when a 5er came my me with half again my length and half again my height. The weather man had predicted 25 mph gusts which sounds about right.
It was a big truck but not a dually. I was going 60 mph he was probably 65 mph. I surmised that both of us were comfortable at our towing speeds because neither of us slowed down.
Fifth wheel or not I have to believe the driver was feeling the wind on that much side area but the traffic was light and he seemed no more concerned than I did.
It goes back to the fact that people drive at the speed they are comfortable with for the driving conditions they are in.
"Better towing" is an individual measure, different for each of us.
