I did NC > Grand Canyon > NC on I-40 in fall of '09 in my little class C Tiger. I spent 20 days total. I stayed in rest areas, truck stops, and the woods, so lost no time driving off-route, registering, or setting up camp. But in a C, it was easy to take short naps in rest areas, and I generally dawdled along. I suspect that the only day I made around 600 miles was the last one on the way back.
I did take several side trips. Spent a day each in Palo Duro Canyon and Flagstaff. Spent two days seeing Petrified Forest & Painted Desert. Spent a day wind-bound in a rest area in AZ.
For geek-me, the trip was mainly to see Meteor Crater; Grand Canyon was a side trip.
