Comfortable Hauling Time or Miles

Hello,

I have a Forest River Avenger ATI (a little over 9,000 pounds) that I haul with my RAM 1500 Hemi, 3.90 rear.

It hauls very good, you can almost forget that you are towing something that large. I have yet to take it on a extended trip. The longest trip we have taken has been approximately 200 miles over mixed roads (Interstate and Local). Come Spring 2017 that will change. We are in the early stages of planning a trip from northern NYS to the Grand Junction, CO area.

I plan to break the trip into day segments, maybe even sight seeing on one or two of the stops. Most of the trip planners I have
played with mark the majority of the trip miles over Interstate Highways.

My question is; what is generally considered to be a reasonable time and/or mileage hauling segment? I realize this can be different for each individual, but a average would make my planning a little simpler to start with.
