I need to check clutch wear, I don't want to change it if it doesn't need it. Those guys are expensive.
Big question: loaded up, how slow can we expect to go? I plan on going 60 normally, but know I can't keep that on the mountains. 45 mph?

I have no idea your age, so let me have a flashback or two.
Back when your car was built the national speed limit was 55mph and the interstates wer not all done yet. So a lot of the traveliong was spent on US HWYS etc. Take your time and enjoy the trip.
You will make better time keeping the drivers door shut than running 75mph. Plan the trip legs with sights in mind etc. IE we are going to stop in Niaigra Falls tonight it 350 mile we are stopping twice ect.
