Everyone in the family is telling us it shouldn't take more than 1.5 days to get there,
Towing (you posted in towing), at my age, that would be 6 days. 1.5 days would be out of the question.
All depends on how far one can drive. OP, never been in a road trip?
Mustn't be too old if still working full time.
Right now the correct answer based on the above post is somewhere between 1.5-6 days.
I'm in the 1.5 days camp. Not much to see between CO and MI cept cornfields and traffic. Get in, drive, get there. Or tell the in laws to suck it and you're not going unless they meet you in Iowa!
I'm only in my mid 40s and last couple X country trips loaded down with camper, trailer, etc were Seattle to Anchorage twice. 8 days one time, mini site seeing tour, low miles per day. 3 days, just puttin my foot in it and getting there. Longer days due to frost heaves and some winter driving.
Seattle to N WI 2 weeks out there, vacation. 2 days back, long 18-20hr days, but made a few full meal, hour plus stops cause we had the kids.
So yeah 1.5-6 days is about right. Decide how long you want to drive each day, how fast you're going to drive avg. more of a math problem than a question really.
Oh and it's a flat, easy, straight, cake drive as long as you don't run into some tornadoes or something.
