Distance traveled in a day

I know this is dependent on the individuals but I was curious as to what is considered a good day’s travel with a TT?

Our only experience was from Indiana to the Ozarks in a 24 ft. TT we rented to see if we liked it. We traveled mostly on the Interstates.

We discovered that we like to travel, then stop for a day or so to see the sights, then move on to the next point of interest. We stopped at three campgrounds in 10 days to see the sights but we were never more than 8 hours from home, so the last day was not that much of a push.

Now we wish to go out west and I have been told that places are rather spread out so I wondered what kind of distances we should expect to travel each day?

Oh yes, it is just a grandpa, grandma and grand dog.:)

  • 200-300 miles in one day is a good distance, but I have gone as far as 750+ miles in a day, pulling a trailer. I don't like to go that far while pulling a trailer because it gets tiring.
  • I do a one day trip 2-3 times a year it's 1325km one way, it is a stretch and needs 2 stops for fuel. Normal trips we try to do one tank of fuel a day then stop for the night, unhook to refuel.
  • As far as you can get between 10:00 and 3:00 including lunch, coffee, walk the dog, stretch the legs and 'lets stop and look at that'.
