Twenty plus years ago, we thought nothing of pulling a 36ft 5er as a "weekend warrior" I think is the term often used, starting at 3pm when the kids got out of school and stopping in a rest area at around 2am/3am in the morning then doing another 8 hours the next day starting around 8am, to get most of the time at our destination.
Fast forward to today and hubby being 63 years of age, we sometimes feel driving an hour is far enough LOL. You have received awesome advice in the fore mentioned posts. YOU will find YOUR groove, just on your first couple of trips out don't book anything if you can, albeit have a plan for where you can stop after 3 hours, 5 hours, 8 hours maybe. Take it all in stride, the journey is half the fun, not just the destination.
Happy & Safe Travels.
Yeah, we shoot for 100-150miles on a travel day and yes we've had 1hr drive days.
We have done longer but it's something try to avoid.
Have you already made the rental? If not, I would seriously consider renting closer to your destination and flying there.
