Look in the mirror !!

Looks like my set up! Pulls like a DREAM ! You won't even know it's back there at 70mph....I just drove 1100 miles, highways, small towns, rolling hills, etc., and used speed control 80% of the time....WOW; what a great pull.

Can't wait to head out again !

Do you have ST tires or LT tires on your camper? ST tires have a max speed limit of 65 MPH, where as LT tires have a higher speed rating.
Speed and low air pressure are the main cause of tire failures.

Tires and pressure

RV is up on site in the mountains....will double check next trip up there. I do know the tires are premium versus standard, not exactly sure of the nomenclature, but will check. I did max them out to cold pressure capacity before leaving on our last trip. Also, "weight" and "age", regardless of remaining tread play a role as well. My unit is under 10,000 lbs empty. My rig is brand new....since 70 on the highway is my "comfort zone maximum"; I am not concerned....However, I WILL check for knowledge, but at my age, I may forget before I get back home !
