We did just over 1000 miles pulling my 64 TradeWind from near Plymouth, NY back to Rochester, MN. Our longest stop was near Cleveland for a new alternator (90 minutes).

960 miles in 17 hours from Lopez Island, WA to Menlo Park, CA some years ago. Not going to do that again. With two drivers that's much more doable, though.

In 2007 stated driving from Alamogordo NM to Warner Robbins Ga 1545 miles each way. I have made this trip, there and back 15 times, pulling our '62 double bed Overlander, or our '63 twin Overlander, or the ,73 Sovereign rear bed. Our truck a '91 Dodge 3500 4x4 srw cc with a 100 gallon auxiliary fuel tank. At 17 miles to the gallon, and a cooler full of drinks and an other with food. Our best time was 22.5 hours and longest time of 36 hours. At the time I was an over the road truck driver I have since retired and now it takes a week. It is so much better sight seeing and beach combing and eating off the land.

Speaking of long drives, in 2017 after Thanksgiving we towed Rocinante 3,700 miles from FL to WA in ten days. Average mileage per day was 370. That may not sound like a lot, but doing it ten days in a row in all kinds of weather...well, it was not fun and we'll never do that again.

Furthest Pull in one day

When I was younger and drove a truck over the road I drove 24 hrs straight several times.
After the wife and I started Airstreaming in 2005 we left Santa Rosa New Mexico headed home to Port O’Connor TX (770 miles) Stopped in Lubbock to eat lunch and got a call that our oldest daughter had been in an accident and was in the hospital. They were waiting on the report from the CT scan of her head. Told the youngest daughter to call us back when they knew something. We would continue heading in that direction until we heard back from her. As we were coming thru San Antonio we got a call everything was OK. Being just 3 hrs. more to Port O’Connor I decided to drive on home. That was the longest three hours I have ever spent behind the wheel. Almost went to sleep several times. Funny how age changes your ability to maintain safe driving habits. I thought Heck I’m only 68 , I can still drive that far safely......WRONG.
We made it home safely ,but , Never Again will I try that

Sometimes there IS a rush. My longest one-day drive with an Airstream was 746 miles in just over 12 hours, so that I could arrive in time to attend my dad's funeral service.
