NY to Wichita ..

From a personal point of view, 350 miles per day is usually our max. We have stretched that to just over 400 in a couple of situations. Pulling that RV, to me, is a lot more tiring than driving the car. Add fuel stops, potty breaks, road construction delays and traffic and I definitely would not be wanting to try that trip in 3 days. But that is just me.

So we will be doing 7 to 8 hrs a day.

It's a minimum of 26 hours, more likely 30 with fuel/rest/food stops. Plan on 10 hours a day and don't be surprised if it's more.

we usually do Ny to Miami in 2 days but not pulling the camper. So we will see how we make out
Thanks

I go back to my original question.
Why taking the RV? are you going camping after the wedding?

Hi Martha. Is there any way to stretch this out to three days instead of two? Two 750 mile days pulling a fifth wheel won't be fun or even very safe. Even three 500 mile days is a lot of driving (and passengering). If you have kids or pets, you might have a rebellion on your hands.

Hi we will be traveling from NY to Wichita Kansas, in Sept,


First time traveling out west so not sure what to expect/we are leaving on Sept 12 and need to be there by the 13 or the 14th the latest.

Martha,

Please consider how such a long drive will be tolerated by everyone. I put this in the TL trip planner and it's over 1400 miles and 26 hours of driving (based on the road speeds I adjusted from experience with different road types), and this doesn't include time for food or fuel stops. You likely need to add several additional hours to the trip for those.

1) It's not do-able in 1 day
2) It's still going to be a VERY long 2 days.

None of this takes into account any construction or traffic delays you may encounter, especially considering you will route through Columbus, OH, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Kansas City.

When there are such significant time constraints, flying is probably going to be much less stressful.

Hi Matt we are leaving from Rockland County NY.

Martha,

NY is a big place.
Where in NY are you departing from?

Matt

Thanks We have a 2018 fifth wheel,but we need to stop at an rv park or campground traveling with Mother in law so its not an
easy trip .
So we need to be hooked up overnight.
This is our first long trip out of our area so just trying to get some tips on the drive out.
Thanks

I wouldn't take the RV if I was that pressed for time.
