Airsteam Interstate braking distance

Picking up a 2018 Airstream Interestate Lounge Tommy Bahama 4x4 on Monday. I'm aware that with the additional weight, braking distances increase.

While I learn more about the vehicle, what should I use as the initial spacing between vehicles to start my calibration? How should that change based on speed I'm travelling at?

For example, if DMV recommends a 2 second interval between cars, what's the interval for the Interstate Lounge? How much does that interval change when it's wet?

Airstream Interstate Highway cruising speed characteristics

Picking up a 2018 Airstream Interestate Lounge Tommy Bahama 4x4 on Monday. Looking to prep myself mentally for what to expect while driving - hopefully so that I can be prepared.

How does the vehicle dynabics change based on speed? I'm referring to stability (not towing), braking, handling, cross-winds. E.g. 55 vs 65 vs 75 vs 80? What are the absolute no no's?

Would you use the Carpool lane?
