After seven pages there is seemingly no consensus of an ideal speed. What is apparent is that we should all find our own comfort level as it pertains to our risk of tire failure and personal safety as well as how comfortable you unit is at any speed. An ill handling coach will scare some a lot sooner than others and may be a major factor in driving comfort at any speed.
On an interstate highway we are rarely any more of an impediment to traffic flow than a heavily loaded, underpowered truck so we should not use that as a guideline since traffic copes with that constantly. When traveling secondary roads we should probably try to refrain from impeding traffic behind us when possible. My rule of thumb usually has me looking for someplace to move over and allow traffic to pass easily when I see more than five vehicles backing up behind me. A little common sense is usually a good guide in what we do and for the most part we are successful in getting along with all of the other highway users.
Well put. I would just add that my MH seems to run the best and easiest around 62-65mph. My guess is most MH have a speed where they like to run.
