Towing speed?
I'm wondering what speed most folks shoot for when towing a travel trailer? Highway towing on the flats that is.

So, now that you know how fast or slow everyone is driving, what's your plan ?
Yes, it is a lot of fuel and 55-60 mph is a good place to be towing, nothing wrong with that.
We don't think about the fuel end of it. We just drive to where we need to go because we don't fly, we drive everywhere. But yes, the truck , towing a TT uses more fuel than when we toured 2-up on a MC with backpacking gear. :)
ON RV's , people have used Air-Tab. I don't what the results were but some rv net people have tried different things regarding mpg.
The truck camper air-foil section has some ideas regarding air deflection. Its just interesting reading .
