How many driving hours per day?
I’m about to take my first trip: from CT to TX. I’m going to drive 4 hours the first day due to the stress of it being my first day. How many hours per day am I going to want to travel thereaf...

About six hours per day maximum. Getting into a park earlier rather than later can have it’s advantages ; better site selection, time to do a little shopping.
Sitting and watching the newbies try to back up their 26’ fiver with a long bed dually and a spotter that stands behind the fiver yelling stop.
I also try to spend two nights at each stop. Knowing you have to get up and break camp is not as relaxing as knowing you DONT have to leave. It also gives you the day to drive around and stumble on something cool. A museum, historical something, best fried pork chops in the world, etc. Heck, we’ve ended up staying a week somewhere we thought we would be staying two nights.
I also try to not drive on weekends, esp Sunday’s. If something goes wrong you are going to either wait and or pay extra to get help.
We had a blowout on a Friday night in a remote area and didn’t get back on the road until Wed.
The goal here is to relax and enjoy the garden.
