- jayw900ExplorerI tend to hover around 500 miles over 10ish hours.
- hawkeye-08Explorer IIIAge, health, experience, setup, lots of variables come into play. Do what is right and safe for you and your wife.
- AtleeExplorer II550+ miles. But that got tough. Ended up driving a fair amount in the dark at night. Hate driving at night. Besides having all the car lights, when I'm driving at night, I tend to be really tired.
Now, we try to keep it to 300 to 350. I do not mind waking up early and getting under way while its dark. I'm rested then, and the sky is just going to get lighter.
But of course, I'm much older now, and retired. - mat60ExplorerAbout 35 miles. :)
- souraiderExplorerI've done 650,and 550 when younger,but now I always schedule between 250-300...350 max.This helps keep the fun in the road trip.
- MosetiExplorerCool
- GordonThreeExplorerOf course your destination will be there, but scheduled vacation days won't.

I have pushed thru 880 miles in a days time, not pleasant. Now I drive until I start feeling fatigued and let my body dictate the distance. Most days 450 - 500 miles I'm comfortable with, distance is not set in stone. Be safe and alert, your destination will still be waiting on you a day later. Why risk injury to yourself or others driving fatigued. - Turtle_n_PeepsExplorer600 or so. Never again.
- BedlamModeratorI also average 50 mph with stops. Typically I plan on 7-9 hrs to keep my DW happy but have driven for 12 hours with her when we needed to be somewhere. Alone, I can drive for 15 hrs before I need to stop for the day.
I still work full time, so we have to keep a schedule but try to make that schedule not seem like work.
