Driving non stop

We are getting a new Class C motor home this weekend. Got the approval call today. We will put it to great use. With that being said, it got me wondering as to non stop driving. With it being a Class C, my wife won't have any issues driving it, especially on the highway. How far have you gone with switching off drivers and not stopping for the night? We would love to go out west as far as we could, but with only having a two week period. It's not really feasible to go too far out. I've driven between South Carolina and California 3 times. Each time taking me 3 days of 12 hr driving. So week to just drive out there and back is a bummer. But if we could get it done in half the time, then not as bad. Would go all the way to California, but maybe to the Rockies or Yellowstone.

Has anyone done the trade off driving to get somewhere in a shorter period? How far did you go?

Here's my question. Have you both driven a Class C before? I know you're thinking you've driven a car or truck or even van before and think it is the same, it's not. Driving a Class C can be more tiring than any of those from fighting the wind, steering issues, rear end sway, bumps and potholes.

Before you drive anywhere far, just drive 100 miles in the thing and see what it's like. You might change your mind. Then again, it could be pretty normal to you. Who knows until you try it? All I know is that I drove my RV from the dealership to home (just 55 miles) and it was exhausting. Because I need some modifications to it for better driving.
