You would have to tow at 80 or more in order to have a shot a 65 MPH average.
That is what I was thinking when I saw that. All my years of long distance motorcycle riding, I found that very often I would end the day with an average of around 62 mph by running at around 70 mph, or a little more while rolling. And I was "trying" to keep my fuel and food stops as reasonable as possible, and was traveling solo. Any time you add more people into the mix, all stops become longer.

Do you Rv ers do the same thing? Am I missing something? Am I being too structured here?:o
I've had my Grand Canyon reservations since August. Trip is planned for July 2014. Regardless of where we're going, I've got the main structure (destinations, days, overnight stops, etc) planned at least 6 months in advance.
I'm not one of those OCD types, planning every day to the second. I make a basic structure of the trip, and play the rest by ear. We never plan specific activities, unless it's something like a helicopter tour that requires reservations.
This is what I'll have at least 6 months prior to a trip:

Just a few suggestions... You've indicated you've only spent 20 minutes inside your new TT so obviously you haven't towed this TT any distance yet. Are you sure you have the right hitch and setup? WD and/or anti sway. You're traveling a long way it would be even worse if you don't have the right setup. Crosswinds, etc. You want to know before you start rather than mid-trip.
