How long do you drive/tow in a day?
Just wondering how long you all drive in a day? My wife and I leaning towards a hard fast rule of 8 hours a day at the most.

Our answer is - well, it depends.
Not retired and still work. We have two drivers that trade off in shifts. We keep it to 60mph.
For a weekend stay like a state park, we try to stick to a range of under 150 miles and usually find someplace about 100 miles away.
For a destination-type trip of over a week, we go a bit farther. We can go up to 500 miles in a day. For example, to get to Fort Wilderness is 800 miles and we break that into two days.
If our destination is farther, we would try to build a stop along the way. On our trip to Acadia, which is 1,000 miles for us, we added 2-3 day stops along the way in each direction to break up the long driving days a bit.
