Holy cow I hope it doesn't take 8 hours to go every 300 miles.
I think I see my issue (one of them). How do you guys weigh extra nights vs longer drives? Perhaps my thought process is wrong/pre-RV. I've alwaybe been a power-thru, minimize stops, relax when I get there driver.
I'd have thought that a longer(400mile) day followed by two nights is better then shorter days and towing every day...but I'm not used to having my lodging with me yet...probabaly better to poke along each day?
Something like this look better?
REVISED
STL to Sioux Falls (The big day) 590 miles
Sioux Falls to Badlands 279 miles
Badlands to Black Hills 123 miles 2 nights
Black Hills to Wapiti 390 miles 2 nights
Wapiti to Douglas? 293 miles
Douglas to ?, NE ~300 miles (not so excited about Nebraska, sorry NE)
?, NE to ?
? to STL
My nights went from
1-3-2-2-1 to 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 but less miles per day
I can probably add a night to get to 10, sounds like I should.
