I tried the backroads on the way home on my last trip to see if the view and "Teardrop Time" is all that, and gave it up and got back on the interstate as soon as I could. (Invariably for me, the view ends up being the back of some tractor on this back road going 25 MPH). I'll shift into Teardrop Time once I park it at a campground
With the T@B in tow I run between 65 - 68 on the interstate. Try to keep the RPMs below 2600.
I (usually) never go over 65 mph with or without the teardrop. Normally for local trips I drive about 55-60. I like to stop every two hours and take a break because it all seems to end up about the same as if I was in a hurry on the highway.
I know what you mean about the side roads and the backend view of big trucks. I find that I don't see the back of trucks on the Interstate for very long.
I like to leave "early" for any trip and take my time on the way. I get there in plenty of time to kick in to "Teardrop Time" after I get set up.
I've been know to sleep in the lounge chair at the camp site (or in traffic jams and construction back ups). My wife gets all freaked
when I do it in a long traffic jam, but hey, teardrop time knows no boundries, right? After all I was on vacation.
