cruising speed
of
your motor home will vary

road and weather
conditions,
. Remember that your motor home is heavier than a
car,
making
it
less maneuverable and harder
to
stop.
Also. because

its greater side surfaea area,
it
is more
easily affected by cross winds. Allow extra distances
for
passing

stopping,
and
drive
at
a moderate speed,
particularly
in
traffic
and
in
gusty wind conditions.
Driving
on
winding' or mountain roads is
not
difficult

speeds when ascending or descending hills and always
operate
