I begin by using Google Maps to determine my best route based on what I want to see on the way to my turn around point and how far I'm willing to drive or I guess I should say, how long my wife is willing to let me drive. I've not yet found my driving limit and my longest drive to date has been 1000 miles in one day.
Once I know my turn around point I decide what I want to see along the way and find camp spots close by using RV Park Reviews web site. if it's just an overnight stop I'll use freecampsites.net to find somewhere to stop for the night that is free or low cost, usually free.
Because my wife does have a limit on daily drive distances I try to keep my drive between 300-400 miles per day, maybe stretching to 500 if I can justify the extra miles to the wife.
I say all this with one thing to keep in mind. I'm not retired yet and have limited time so i'm usually on a mission to get somewhere.
Once I retire my drive day may only be 100-200 miles.
