We logged in a little over 1000 miles in one day. Of course we had two drivers which helps. It's not that we like to drive for so long, but both of us were feeling good. Every couple of hundred miles we would ask "how you doing?" Next thing we knew home wasn't as far away as we thought. So my question is what is your longest haul in a day?

That was from Jemison, Alabama to Big Lagoon State Park in Pensacola, Florida. We feel the journey is just as exciting as the destination.

I was towing a big fiver from Southern Maryland to Casper Wyoming and wanted to be there before bad weather was forcast. 950 miles the first day, 750 miles the second day, and 350 miles the third day rolling into Casper by noon. About an hour of arriving, there was over a foot of snow on the ground. Capt Skup AD-1(AW)USNRet.

It may take a couple days before fatique sets in. One Beautiful Wife Two Great Dogs 2007 Fleetwood Revolution 40 LE Someday Has Come.... COMMON SENSE, NEVER LEAVE HOME W/O IT !

That's with stopping for lunch and sitting in accident traffic for over an hour, just did that yesterday too. If I could get everyone out at a decent hour I could see 700-800 probably. I don't get lost, I investigate alternative destinations. See a guy in the campground with a telescope, that may be me. 2001 Dodge 2500 Cummins HO six speed. 2002 Springdale 286 RLDS TT JoeH • View posts Apollo Beach,FL Senior Member Joined: 02/21/2001 View Profile Online Posted: 06/29/09 08:04am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator We've done about 1000 miles a day multiple times when we are heading to a specific destination and don't want to spend excessive time on the road. Not the most fun thing, as I drive without help. bobcouch • View posts Southeast Texas Senior Member Joined: 12/01/2008 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 06/29/09 08:06am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator You've definitely got me beat. My longest (towing) was from Wichita, Kansas to our house - 600 miles and just over 10 hours. I had a planned stop, but figured that once I made Dallas I would rather drive on to the Houston area (Huffman) than stop and set up. I normally won't go over about 300 miles (+/-) except for the first or last day of an extended trip, and prefer to keep it around 200-250.

If it were just me, I could have made it to Disneyworld in 1 day instead of stopping (oh, and not wanting to arrive at night). 09 Newmar Ventana 3942 Bunkbeds for the munchkins The Dunn 4 • View posts Iowa Full Member Joined: 01/10/2009 View Profile Offline Posted: 06/29/09 08:10am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator 570 miles from Glacier NP to Medora, ND. DW doesn't drive the TV, so it's just me. I was pretty well spent after that. 2009 Passport 280BH 2004 Ford F150 Lariat Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 6   Next Open Roads Forum  >  General RVing Issues  > What's the most miles you've covered in a day?
