Obviously, you're not retired yet or not a full-timer. :) If so, there's absolutely no need to put in those long driving miles. Plus, as one ages, it's dangerous to others.

Anecdotal stories aside, there isn't an epidemic of old RV drivers pushing the limits of daily mileage causing death and destruction up and down our highways.
