If you travel over state lines, the rules for RV driving can get tricky. Can I triple-tow? It’s important to understand the rules for safe RV travel, so let’s tackle the question of speed limits for RVs.
Only five states require RVers to drive at a different speed than standard passenger cars. However, just to be safe, you should obey truck speed limits in California, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, and Washington.
If you’re new to RVing, drive under the speed limit to maintain control of the RV. However, many seasoned RVers will travel 70 to 75 miles per hour without thinking about it.
First, your tires could blow. You could cross over into another lane or cause an accident. Additionally, you have less time to slow down and stop when you’re driving too fast.
Keep Your DistanceLeave ample room for drivers to merge onto the interstate. Don’t follow too closely when in heavy traffic. A safe speed at a safe distance means safe travel.
