How far have you driven and towed your camper to get to your destination?

This is a great big country with so many amazing sights to see and destinations to visit. But I always feel limited to the three day weekend radius, never more than a 6 hour drive to a camp ground. I was reading bout all the cool rallies and camping experiences over on the east side and began to wonder if I'd ever venture that far out.

So how far have you travelled to get where you're going, in a single day or multiple day trip?

I've driven 1000 miles each way to Florida a couple times. As a kid we used to go to Colorado almost every summer. Mostly though it is weekend trips like you.

Best Regards,

Thousand mile trip to camp! And then back again. Crickey that's some iron man towing. Once I get some experience under my belt I'd love to venture further afield

That sounds really cool phantom. Were planning next summers trip to Yellowstone now. Really looking forward to that.

Do you plan every stop along the way or leave any of it to chance?
