Hi Joel!

You said, "I hate towing faster than 65 MPH, but in this area of the country it's a bit risky to go that slow sometimes, and would like the extra margin."

I've found that no matter how fast I travel, there's always someone who insists on traveling 10 mph faster. Two points here: (1) I simply don't tow our TrailManor over 65 mph; it's a matter of being in control of tow vehicle (4000 lbs) and TrailManor (3500 lbs) vs. being out-of-control. Also, I believe the speed rating for the TrailManor tires is 65 mph, and (2) I refuse to let another driver (including semis) "drive" my car, by their actions.

Remember, at 60 mph we are traveling 88 feet per second! That's not "slow."

Happy Camping! Spring will be here before we know it!
