the best course is to keep it slow and pay attention. It will take you longer to slow or stop a MH than you may think. Stay 3 to 5 lengths behind the vehicle in front of you and look beyond what is directly in front of you. Try to apply the brakes in a pumping motion and try NOT to lock the brakes up. I use the logic that while in traffic I will be low and slow and stay in the far right lane. In no hurry and let others go fast. Don't get the MH over 60 and usually stay at 55. You are driving a house on wheels and WHY do you need to go fast? Simply stated don't be in a hurry. If you have a long drive ahead leave early and plan to take about 10% more time then you think to arrive. If you are early great. Stop and relax.
