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...

Greg,
Even though we co-drive and have a very comfortable and easily driven coach, I find that 6 hours is a good plan. If it you get out there, and the day is easy, maybe longer. By the same token, we have had some really short days. One was just into Pennsylvania. We decides to hold up in a truck stop, burn propane and watch the chaos on the highway until the storm cleared. It was winter in the northeast.
The short first day is a very good plan. Rushing departure is a great way to make mistakes. (That is a lesson I learned long ago and it still stands.) Where you are starting from in Connecticut can make a big difference too.
You seem to have your head on right, just keep using it. Pushing is a good way to end up dead. This time of year, start out with provisions for three days. It is easy to get stopped for one, and so two can happen. The third day is just so two does not make you uncomfortable.
This is all from a guy (and DW) that have done an 1101 mile day.
