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.

A professional starts getting ready to go. 14 hours later, he's done. It is against the law for him to drive. And out of that 14, only 11 can be driving.
well, DW can also drive and does share driving time if needed.
That said, 600 miles towing is longer than we have ever done. But we quite often do a 800 mile trip in one day, sharing driving. But that trip non towing is not as tiring as a 400 mile towing trip.
I understand the safety rules that professionals live by do not apply to RVers. But if a pro is in the truck, will take over the driving she must swear that she spent 10 hours in the sleeper while you are driving.
between us, whomever is not driving is sleeping in the passenger seat...... But I'm sure that isn't good enough for you, But we'd get carsick sleeping in the trailer (besides being illegal)
If either of us feels the least bit tired, we pull over for a while.
