Most folks average about 62-65 mph no matter the combination of MH and toad.
What is the goal of your question?

- 2011 Newmar Essex
- 2013 Honda CRV EX AWD

We tow a 2013 Honda CRV AWD. We drive 60 MPH on all except secondary 2-lane roads, then we drive 55 or whatever the traffic will allow!

We will be first time towing a 4 down next week. My thought was a comfortable speed would be in that 62 mpg range. We'll be in the right lane most of the way.
I wondered what others do.

Combo is in my signature. I tow 60 on 2 lanes and 65 on 4 lanes. My rig doesn't want to shift to 6th gear below 60. I had to deal with this going through a small corner of California.
