I was curious as we just came home from a 11 day, 2500 mile jaunt with our new to us Lance camper. Many of the freeways had 80mph speed limits. The truck runs fine at that speed and the fuel mileage drops a lot. It feels very stable and safe at that speed.
On the way home today, we had heavy rain as well. I was curious if it is asking too much of a truck camper, specifically the area with a window, to repel that kind of wind and rain.
I'm willing to give up the fuel mileage. What I don't want to do is cause the camper to leak more as a result of doing 80mph on a freeway.
Coming from me, who routinely makes a 300 mile jaunt in 4 hours flat including pit stops (not w camper), I sort of question the “heavy rain and 80mph” not from the camper leaking standpoint, but 80 in a downpour sounds like a good recipe for some fun hydro planing!
