Speed limits on freeway

WDH with sway control or electronic sway control such as the Hayes Sway-Master. I recommend it as it does work and makes it a lot safer. This is important with the wind. Now, the RPod is better than the 5th wheels because it is lower and does not catch as much wind. Better does not mean that you won't get pushed. It is just that you won't get pushed as hard.  Again, the Hayes Sway-Master or equivalent such as that from Tuson are very helpful. You already have sway control, but the electronic sway control is for those situations where regular sway control might not be enough. I encountered one such situation which is why I take the belt and suspenders approach.

You are optimistic on the 450 miles. Plan on between 300 and 400. You will want to stop for meals and other necessary stops. You can get the 450, but you will figure out what you are most comfortable with as you go.

Yes, check the tires carefully. Check the pressure regularly. Check the lug nuts to be sure they are tight. If the wheels were off, check at 50 miles, 100 miles, and then you can start with checking daily. Have a torque wrench for this.

I use the RV Parky app on my phone to help find free places to stay. It has been very useful.

Drive safely. Remember that the journey is part of the adventure. Relax and get there safely.

Welcome :-) 60 - 65 mph top speed, even when you can go faster. Things happen fast with the two vehicles connected to each other. You have to watch behind and around you all the time when traveling 15+ mph slower than the other traffic and it is tiring.

    My DW (dear wife) calls it a day around 350 miles. She does not drive, but can only sit for so long unless there's a good reason to go further.

    You will be stopping more often for gas on the freeway. Two lanes are not usually as hard on gas, but still cut your mpg's. The non-freeways are less stressful, but with your goal of picking up and bringing the new TT home, understandable that you don't have the time to waste.

    We are fans of the Equalizer 4 hitches properly set up for wind/sway control. We were on I-15 in Idaho when strong head winds cut our top speed to 50-55 mph at 5000 rpm. We got off the highway and put it up for the day.

    The DW likes to have 2 days in one spot every 4 days or so just to take a break. Have fun!

One of the great things about these apps for finding campsites is that we CAN play it by ear and don't have to sweat booking a site every night, since we won't really know how far we'll get. And another great thing is getting advice from folks who know a lot more than we do! Grateful for your thoughts.
