traveling miles? how far in 1 day
If your not tied to a clock, how far do your travel in 1 day? So your not over tired, nor over stretched and then the next day tired. Old Man rest usually gets his justice somewhere, then is's us...

300 is still easy. 400 is getting long. About 500 is max.
Big difference too for flat interstate vs twisting mountain roads.
I do like to arrive early enough to be parked and set up before dinner.
Just means we leave way early if the day will be long.
A man (or woman) of my own heart!
The only thing I add--and this is just my preference--I make the decisions about those days in the comfort of my home office. My planning for the trip involves determining (as much as I can) the kind of roads for that day and the possible campsites for overnight.
Even though we are long retired we are NOT full-timers. That would make a lot of difference. We make trips, we are not just moving along, and we do have a more limited time frame in mind.
We have a trip planned for July/August to Banff, Canada from here in East Texas. I am working on planning each days drive. The longest I have so far is 370 miles, but there is a lot of Texas I have to put behind me on the first days drive. Several days are around 200, many in the 300 range.
I just give these as examples of the way my daily distance or hours are determined.
