Paul J A Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 This formula was very popular when we full timed for 10 years. 3x3 or 4x4 or 5x5. Leave at 9 and in by 3= 300Miles, leave by 8 and in by 4= 400 miles, leave by 7 and in by 5= 500 miles. Includes stops for what ever. I cruised at 61-62 MPH. Best sweet spot for Maximum MPG.

As long as you're not exceeding your tires speed rating, you should drive with the flow of traffic, or slightly (2 to 5mph) below. I find that this speed minimizes how much I have to change lanes, while keeping me from impeding other drivers. I drive cars MUCH more than RV's, and many truckers and RVers are seriously selfish, and block traffic for miles when trying to pass each other. 🤬 I don't want to be that guy when driving my coach. I can’t drive that fast, that’s the point. My coach is not able to. I have the thread open in the suspension part of the forum Almost 50, kinda got the whole driving thing figured out Uggg, I kinda wanted this to be a fun thread about trucks and such. 16 minutes ago, Paul A. said: This formula was very popular when we full timed for 10 years. 3x3 or 4x4 or 5x5.

ISX 525, 07 Executive. Pretty slick. My Dip isn’t as tech. GAIA app has great maps, for on/off-road and can track any route intake, Coach, truck, bike, foot. For those who are kinda curious. It’s a great app Edited October 30, 2021 by JDCrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubflyer Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 1 hour ago, BobSchmeck said: All the signs I see says "speed limit " meaning maximum speed, not "speed minimum". That's why they also say slower traffic stay to the right. If only they would 'stay to the right'...... and not initiate a pass on a hill, up or down, unless you have enough "wheaties" to do it (actually pass)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl_racing427 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Ivan, I just wish they'd actually write tickets to those driving below the minimum, and/or not staying in the right lane unless actually passing another vehicle. (Driving 1mph faster while beside another vehicle isn't "passing", by the way.) SMH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
