On a recent trip to and from Florida we drove IH-10 for about 70% of the trip. One thing we noticed was the amount of semis on the roads. There were more big rigs than we have experienced in a long time. Portions of 10 have very poor conditions, especially in parts of Louisiana.

The east side of the Mississippi River Bridge is fun too for a few miles.
I never drive more than 62, usually 60 - 61 with toad so they can all fly by me. I do not care how far behind me traffic might back up. I am only concerned about the safe operation of my RV by me. Will you ever see any of those people again? I doubt it. Remember, the right lane is the RVer's friend. Any professional RV driving instructor, as I used to be, will teach that to you.
