We just made that route down to Florida from NC. Was at Sanibel Island, Florida for a week, first week of April. Was incredible down there, wish we could have stayed longer!
As already said, I-95 through SC is a pretty rough road, not very smooth at all. It will wear on you, and shake anything lose in your coach thats not bolted down, haha. The day you are coming through SC, I would not plan on more than 400 miles that day. Preferably more like 300 or 350.
The trip was about 730 miles for us. We did it in 2 days, split the trip in half by stopping near Kingsland, Georgia on the way there and the way back. Like already said, there are tons of places to stop along I-95 on that route, don't worry about that.
JMO, but I'd try to split the trip up more evenly, do maybe 400 miles or so each day. 600 miles in one day is too much, IMO. Especially on that stretch of I-95.
Along that stretch of I-95, you can count on there being several traffic bottlenecks, hold-ups, etc. that will turn what you expect to be 8 hours on the road, into more like 9 or 10. There was one point in Florida on I-75 where it got so bad, I jumped off the interstate on a 'whim' and followed route 301 for a good ways. Ended up being quicker, too. A good GPS is a very useful tool when you want to take the 'scenic route' like that.
