I have done ALL the driving from day one. DW is afraid to drive our MH because it's so "big" she says. We always plan our trips in advance and so I know how far I have to drive. I'm used to being behind the wheel for long hours so driving a long stretch doesn't bother me. DW lets me know when I'm tired and it's time to stop (or the fuel gauge). I have driven from Orlando to our home in Kentucky more than once without stopping (except to refuel/eat) more than once. I don't suggest it but if you're comfortable behind the wheel like me it should be OK.
