    I think 5-6 hours driving a day is optimal time. Honestly, I never count. But, once I had to drive 12 hours. Not the best experience.

    on a long trip , we generally drive 500 miles on a good day , 8 to 10 hours of day light , i do not like to drive at night, too many things to dodge and in a 40 ft MH towing a pickup is not that agile , i drive 55 and enjoy the scenery

    I often travel by car and the distance I can travel in a day depends on many factors, such as road conditions, driving speed, and availability of rest breaks. However, if you want to speed up your trip and are looking for a convenient way to get to the airport, I recommend using a shuttle service to save you time.

    it basically comes down to your requirements , if you have 2 weeks to getterdun , then a gangbuster approach may be needed , i do not like to drive in the dark , so that is my limitation , when i was young , i was more in a rush , Calgary, Alberta to L.A. took 37 hours , about 1700 miles , with a 2 hr nap in Pocatello , my last trip . Hinton, Alberta to Yuma, Az. 2300 miles took 4 days , with 4 hotel rooms , when we take the MH to Arizona , it takes 5 days , same 2300 miles , rest stops , Cabelas or truck/RV stops , meals by the wife at 55 mph , and when we get there we can sit outside and BBQ and enjoy our holiday , which generally lasts for 4 months . It comes down to what you need to do , the 333 days dont work for me to get to the main destination , after we get there a lot of our plans take us 3-4 hours to get there and we can leave late and arrive in plenty of time to set up and make a good meal , we have a set time allowed in the USA , of 120 days and have to plan around that to get home
