- If touring typically no more than 2 or 3 hours a day. If dead heading (rare) maybe 8 or 9 hours max.
- JRscoobyExplorer III always wonder about what I read on threads like this; Somebody drives a desk every day, then starts vacation thinks it's safe to drive 600+ miles
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. - GrandpaKipExplorer II300 miles/6 hours
If a long distance, we’ll break it up and stay a couple nights in various places along the way.
Last Thanksgiving, we spent a week going to Marathon Key and 9 days coming back.
We do not travel on interstates. - LwiddisExplorer III stop at 230 miles or 2:30 p.m. whichever comes first.
- joelcNomadNow that I am retired and older, I try to keep it to 3 hours a day. But, sometimes when necessary it has been 6 hours when we have trouble finding a evenings stay or in the middle of nowhere.
- valhalla360Navigator150 is our ideal.
We'll go as little as 50.
Not a big deal to do 250 but that's generally the cap.
Last month did 400 getting out of the mess in texas but that was because, electricity, water, gas & propane were problematic if we didn't get further.
We aren't on a schedule. If you are working with limited vacation time, it may make sense to push further but even then...a 400mile day is a long day driving an RV...a day at the beginning or end is OK to get to a destination but for a week or two trip, I wouldn't want much more. You often hear people doing cross country trips where it would work out to 250-300miles per day (every day)...that's just miserable. - bgumExplorer5-6 hours or around 300 miles. Depends if we are near a city. Try to avoid stopping near cities.
- ferndaleflyerExplorer IIILeaving in the morning. First stop is around 650--700mi. I am 80 years old so those long 1000+ rides are done.
- BumpyroadExplorerI generally start at about 8 or 9 and quit early afternoon, 3 ish, so I can beat the traffic and relax. If I want to get someplace quickly I would fly.
bumpy - nickthehunterNomad IIIAs long as it takes. 8 or 10 hours is pretty common, 12 hours several times, have been a few at 24 hrs plus. It’s really up to you and yours, how long do you want to drive.
