I drive 55-63 mph. At the end of the day I only get 50 mph. I have tried to do better but pulling trailer, stops, fuel and traffic I only go 50 mph average for the day. You are not going to want to drive that long with a RV. We travel 250-350 a day that is 5 to 7 hours. Enjoy the trips, we have a beautiful country to see.

I went from west palm beach to jacksonville fl in the rv when I bought it and that was well over 300 miles and it took me 3 hours going between 60 and 65 mph using the cruise control. maybe everyone drives different, idk.. I do not tow anything tho that could be why..

It's 284 mi. and in a car, without any stops, should take you about 4.5 hrs at 65 mph.

I think you'll find that everyone on the Interstates driving the speed limit average about 50-55 mph in a days travel. In fact, if you drive 70 mph, you're not going to increase those averages by much. It's the down time at fuel and feeding that kills the averages.

Meant to say 4 hours not 3 lol was not doing a hundred in the RV lolll. But ya we plan only to stop for gas we will have food on board. Hopefully the gen holds up, has been running good this past week. Any recommended oil for it? 98 microlite 4000
