Your going to have some cranky kids at 600 miles per day. Split it into at least a 3 day trip. Make it a vacation instead of a marathon.
I agree 600/day is too much especially with kids. Most of our Road Trips are at least 1,000 miles or more and shoot to avg 250mi per day on average with no more than 4 days traveling before taking a day off.
Newbies just don't realize how much different it is towing these behemoths over driving just a passenger vehicle by it's self. One needs to be "extra alert" when towing and there is a mental strain associated with that. If one's rig is even slightly marginal that just multiples the strain factor and will beat up even the best of the drivers.
