What's your longest TC trip?

My first trip was 5000 miles and 2 weeks. Only thing I would change is not bringing my Nephew lol.

Did the seattle to yellowstone trip this last summer. 1300 miles with the wife and 2 daughters. Got a little tight in there at times but it was alot of fun.

Pretty close to 5000 miles a few times, out around five weeks. Have seen some that live in theirs while they travel but we still like our stick house too.

I full time in a TC and average 10 to 12 nights backpacking each year, otherwise every night has been in my TC for the last 4 1/2 years. Recently I was in an motorcycle accident, not my choice, but spent 12 nights away from my TC. So it is important to plan for contingencies that may occur, far from your land of comfort zone.

Hardest things about being in a truck camper? Easy, not putting a priority on a solar program and a larger battery bank, when I put my project together. The first two years I spent running a generator every day to meet my electrical demands. The last two years, with my solar, has been a game changer. The other, the lack of familiar faces. By that I mean, when you live someplace, you see the same people, whether it is at the grocery store, bank or café. Not seeing family members, but the up side, they like to meet me out on the road.

The upside? The ultimate solitude. Not seeing or talking to another human being for weeks and the luxury of traveling the Eastern Sierras (US 395) and taking 4 weeks to travel from California City, to Carson City, exploring every day.

What would I change? Not a thing, as I enjoy every day and can't wait to see what I am going to discover next, or who is going to show up and claim one of the beers I keep in the fridge, just for those occasions.

I'm good and learning a lot everyday.

We went from the Pacific (San Diego) to the Atlantic (North Carolina and into Florida) We were gone just about 6 weeks.

It was a great trip!

Only one long trip in the last 15 years, CA to MI for the last family Thanksgiving reunion on the farm. It was kind of a forced march on I80 to MI and sleeping in truck stops and a lot of hamburgers. The trip back was more relaxed and warm once we got down around the border.

Eighty days. Northern NY to Alaska with stops in Yellowstone and Glacier. 11,000 plus mi.

Our last 4 TC round trips to Alaska from south Florida have run in the 12,000+ mile range. The longest of the 4 trips was in 2006, when we went by way of Boston, across the US and north to Alaska and return. This trip was 16,369 miles which was our longest TC trip to date.

Most of these trips we spend about 90 to 100 nights on the road. The TC works the best for us now that it is just my wife and I traveling together as our daughters are grown. On the alternated summers our two young grandsons often go with us so the TC, a Lance 845, can get a bit small, but works for towing our Jeep Wrangler out to run the Jeep trails in Colorado. Some summers we will take our 5th wheel out to Colorado and rent a Jeep in Ouray, to use for a week or two. Many of the back roads, we just take our 4X4 Chevy pickup as it is fine on many of the back scenic roads of the state.

Most years we will spend close to 150 nights out on the road in one of the two RVs we own. We are currently on our 5th truck camper.

The plan for this coming summer is to take the TC back to Alaska, perhaps up through the Boston area again as that is where our youngest daughter lives. This would be the 14th round trip to/from Alaska by RV for us, plus several more by car/truck and a few more by small aircraft following the Alaska highway.
It would take some really unusual circumstances for me to even consider trying to live full time in our TC, the 5th wheel, maybe. We tried full timing for 2 1/2 years in a Class A and didn't care for it at all, as it got in the way of our traveling. LOL

28 days...7,000 miles. 3 of us in a non-slide hard side (our 1st TC).Loved every minute of it.
Can't wait to do it again.

Our trip from Charleston, SC to Alaska, Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore and back home put 13005 miles on the truck. Another trip to California, Oregon, and Washington added another 7800. My wife has now retired, so there will be more soon!
