Late 2013 I took my first shakedown/trip in my 19 year old 33’ Class A RV from San Marcos TX to Tucson AZ during a late November winter storm. It was 900 miles and not much fun. Since I was a newby I started out keeping the speed between 55 and 60. I’ll normally try to somewhat accommodate other drivers on a 2-lane road, but on a 4-lane highway to heck with them, they can go around me. As I became used to the machines idiosyncrasies and the general newness of driving it, I slowly increased my speed. By the time I hit the Arizona border the weather had cleared, it had become sunny, and I was cruising along at 70. I’d become so comfortable with it that I had to keep checking my speed as it constantly crept up to 75. It just takes time, no need to be in a hurry.
