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

Isn't the speed limit in CA 55 or 60 for towing trailers?
Oh yes the speed limit here is CA is 55. I normally drive 60-65 as the tractor trailer blow by me at 70. Soon as I hit the CA border and I'm in another state I can flow right on up to the 70-75 mark and feel completely safe. My truck and trailer does stop amazingly well. I believe the most important thing is keeping a 20 second distance between me and the vehicle in front of me. At 65mph you will cover 300 feet of road before your foot hits the brake when you see thing going to heck in front of you. That's why I believe 15-20 second distance is super important.
