How long do you drive/tow in a day?

Well I have made the argument for decades as a adult I should be able to decide for myself when I was tired. The OP posted what I took to be a question what is a reasonable distance/time to travel in a day. Some who seam to have grown up in Lake Woebegon, where all the children are above average, are advocating times and distances that are likely unsafe. Most times they will get away with it. And if they don't it will be because somebody else did something stupid, it can't be my fault. But I am sure that the dad that works all day Friday, loads wife and kids to drive for hours will have less of a chance of missing the other guy. It is not always a fall asleep. Maybe your tired eyes take a little too long checking the right mirror, don't notice the kid on the left texting.
I don't think we should be forced to follow log regulations, but it sure don't hurt to know what the people that studied it have determined what the limits are.

Last Oct we took about a 3500 mile trip. Never drove more than 300 in a day. Drive a day, camp and cook for a day, sightsee a day, then travel again
As to "I have to drive woofty hours to get to vacation". More than once, when somebody is asked about their first trip to say NYC, they talk about the art galleries, museums and theaters. You ask them to compare to the art galleries, museums and theaters in home town, O, we never go to those. RVers are no different.
