We have had speed discussions before! But....

I just have to say, I don't feel an RV should be driven 65-75 89 mph. Call me old fashion, but I just don't. I will admit that I drive my cars at or above the speed limit. My daily driver is a 600+ HP track ready car. Therefore I am not an angel, and have been known to race a little. That confession out of the way, I do it where there is no traffic and or people. Driving nearly 25,000 lbs with four axles is a different thing altogether. It's a lot to control or loose control. I get passed all the time here in Ca. Doing 55mph. Out of State I go 60-64 max, just so I don't get run over! The thing that scares me are the "Toy Haulers" and Large overloaded fivers being driven 75-80 mph. Most and yes I mean most using a truck not designed for the task. They scare the heck out of me! I don't believe most RVs are of the caliber of the majority of MOC members. Jacked up trucks on oversized tires toying 16-20k. Will bet you torquing wheels nuts is not as high as tuning the quad! I see trucks with worn out tires, unlevel too small for the job. Don't mean to pick on Toy Haulers, but the most infractions I see involve them. Dad driving too fast two kids in car seats in the back and mom by his side. Flying by me not understanding the gravity of the situation! Ok I am done. Lol.
