When we drive our car now we drive the left lane, well over the speed limit with radar detector on and drive 8-10 hours. When we pick up the RV in the spring we will be retired and leaving the radar detector home. We plan on driving 4-5 hours a day at 50-55 mph avoiding the interstates and stopping at campgrounds and taking it easy. Cannot wait to slow down and smell the country!

We just did our first long trip in our 183G and went from PA to CO. Were pretty focused on getting out to our new home, so sight seeing was not an objective. I can tell you that the days we traveled 400 miles or more were exhausting. My husband did all the driving, well, because he wanted to, but I was still tired at the end of those days. We traveled 6 days in rain storms, crowded cities, and country roads, through 8 states and I agree with the members who recommend ~300 miles a day; your journey will be much more enjoyable if you take time to enjoy the campgrounds that you carefully plot and choose!

We have towed "Shore Leave," or 179 for over 17 thousand miles. we rarely go more than 350 miles a day. we try to keep it at about 300. We don't go over 60 mph and prefer secondary roads. The only time we go beyond the 300 mile limit is when we are headed home and we know where we re going and that a familiar place awaits us.
We quit being in a hurry a long time ago. We spend a greqt deal of time in a sailboat and are happy if we are doing 6 mph
