Hi Steve,
I almost never go more than 100 miles on travel days. Sometimes less. My
shortest day was 8 miles.
I leave the campground at about 10:00am and I'm pulling into my next one at
noon or a little after. One benefit of that is I rarely bother to make
reservations. I like being able to stay longer, leave earlier or vary my course
depending on what I might learn while someplace. If it's raining I almost never
tow unless I have to.
Getting in early means I have the afternoon to sightsee, do laundry, go
antiquing, explore with the dogs...whatever.
I get my money's worth too <g> I spend 22 hours in a campground.
I prefer to spend more than one night but if I need to be somewhere I do one
night stands, so to speak <g>, and still do the 100 mile days.
It started because I hate driving and my cats were in the trailer and my dogs
don't want to spend hours in the truck. It's more relaxing and it makes
travel much more pleasant.
I get to see alot more too.... instead of the country being a blur outside my
truck windows I'm actually seeing it up close and personal.
