Well, we are kind of an odd pair here. This coach is the most comfortable to drive that we have ever owned. Not only can an individual drive a whole day and be comfortable, but in times that we had to, we can sleep a driver while underway.
I said we can, and we have, I did not say that we do - still. As we are now both retired, that just has not been required. It is my contention that the biggest factor is how comfortable driving your coach actually is. With the last repair (now about ten years ago) the coach became so non-stressful that DW Mary now prefers to drive as opposed to being the navigator in the right seat.
In planning stages of any excursion, I still try to work with an road day that is either eight hours or four hundred miles as more is just not worth the inconvenience. It turns out the if one avoids the blue roads and takes the more scenic routes, the eight will usually be our limiter. That may sound long, but when traveling in pretty country, sometimes darkness comes too soon.
