there are sections of I-20 in western Texas that have an 80 mph speed
limit now -- specifically west of Big Spring on out to Van Horn, where
I-10 and I-20 join.   No grades of any significance, unless you count
the 1/4 mile climb onto the "cap rock" at Penwell.  Folks in that part
of the country consider that a long grade.  ha ;-) .

I drive my camper at 60 mph on the highway, generally, but let it drop
on hills.
