When it comes to freeway driving with a camper and/or trailer I like to get behind a big-truck that’s cruising at a good rate. I know he’s not gonna do a panic stop I can’t match and he’s gonna take out whatever jumps in the way.
It also discourages most of the jerks that cut directly in front of me, because they don’t want to be behind the big truck.
The big secret is a lot of later model big trucks come with HUGE power and they roll right along nicely.
When I’m hauling horses in a Peterbilt long-hood and 51 foot trailer, I set the cruise control at about 62 and that Caterpillar C15 keeps it there.
I’m an old hot rodder. That means I’ve got even faster stuff than I had as a kid but now I drive it responsibly.
