How fast do you typically ride with a mini airstream behind you?

I run what ever the posted speed limit is. The bike has no problem handling it.

Depends if I need to be somewhere by a certain time. I'm typically running about 65 mph if I am pulling my cargo trailer or pop-up camper. I've found anything much higher really takes a toll on the gas mileage.

Yeah, I pulled a pop up from Colorado to the East Coast and back and while the bike would pull at 80-85 the mileage dropped 20mpg at times.
I never felt an issue with controlling the bike and trailer at higher speeds though.
