Just finished an 800 mile trip in one shot. We do it 4 to 6 times a year in the motorhome and the car. With the motorhome, you shouldn't have to worry about the kids.
When ours get tired, we convert the dinette and they sleep on it with seat belts on. Or sometimes one sleeps on the couch with seatbelt on and the other is on the dinette.
Having a table to sit at really expands the possibilities of what the kids can do to occupy their time.
The most I have driven in the motorhome before stopping for the night was 900 miles, about 16 hours. Our motorhome handles great, so no driver fatigue issues, just tired from a long day.
Everyone is different. We drive our 800 mile journey multiple times a year to visit family. Some folks just don't want to drive that far in one day, some may even drive more.
When we first started doing this 800 trip back in 2006, the kids were 5 and 3. Driving in the car was tough for them, but they have gotten use to it. Since getting the motorhome in 2009, they enjoy the trip a lot more as do we. When we drive the car up, I wish we could have taken the Motorhome instead.
