On the road, it seems like most RVs do drive over 65 mph. On that note...

If not, I set the cruise control around 65.

If you read the signs carefully some states specifically limit MH's and RV's to 55, Illinois is one that comes to mind. With that said I have never seen an RV or MH pulled over and we've been travleing there on a regular basis for 19 years. Grandma in front of her retirement home..

I did hear from my brother who is a driving instructer for AARP. That IL. was going to raise the 55 MPH to 65 MPH in 2010. Not that I ever noticed many doing 55 to start with.

On the way down, we towed our MDX and kept a steady speed of 55 MPH. Our tow bracket failed just as we left for home. I drove the Phaeton at 65 and Vicki followed. Our mileage on the way down was 8.7 mpg. On the way home it dropped to 7.2 mpg. I think I will stick to the slower limit. maddog348 • View posts Bakersfield,CA Senior Member Joined: 04/08/2008 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 10/20/09 10:13am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Same as Chief45 RV10 Speed limit in CA 55mph towing - as marked 65-70 MH by itself semiretiredDIY • View posts WA state Senior Member Joined: 12/15/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/20/09 10:14am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I follow the posted truck speed, (I'm retired and not in any big hurry) there are exceptions, like when the truck lanes are "ruff' trucks are tough on the pavement, and of coarse on grades that slow them down to a crawl. when I do switch to the "car" lanes, I will drive the car posted speed. I do not tow, I have my scooter fastened to a carrier on the back of the MH. The scooter weighs 270 lbs. with the overhang, I end up with 520 lbs on the rear wheels, I don't notice any handling issues, so I'm happy with that setup.

If the truck limits are less they are that way for a reason and we follow them. Our rig has far more in common with a 18 wheeler than it does with a car. 2008 Newmar 4330 (Modified) Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 6   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Class A Motorhomes  > Speed Limit Signs: Do U follow Truck limits or Car limits?
