Oh. Sorry. I need to change the details.

The driving was absolutely miserable. We spent $4K on aftermarket things, but it didn't make a difference. As a driver, I had to move the steering wheel back and forth microscopically the entire time. The coach wanted to fling itself left and right, even with tiny adjustments.
 
Did one of those aftermarket accessories include a steering stabilizer? I put a Safe T Plus on my Bay Star and it made a considerable difference in the steering play, granted, you're still driving a house on a truck bed.
 
So, I used to average 550 miles a day. On the way home from Newmar I did anywhere from 280 to 360 a day.
What do you generally average.

There is no right or wrong answer. At some point, if need arises, I may do the 550 a day, its all about personal stamina, not what anyone feels is right for anyone else.
I travel off freeways and target 200 miles which takes about 6 hours including stops
 
When I was younger I did Florida to Oregon in one shot, stopping only for gas and a brief nap outside Salt Lake City at Bonneville.

I try to keep it down now, My truck or RV can outlast me, I just did a Florida to Indiana and back to Florida trip in 3 days, Stopping in TN each way at night to rest. My dogs need to go out more than I do, so that gets me to stop more often and spend some time walking them.

My new rig's previous owners added Active Air to it, and OMG does that make a difference. My Class C and a previous Class A would wander and become a sail and semis and trucks would push them around. The London Aire with active air, is a dream, doesn't budge, can't even barely tell if there's a headwind or anything between the active air and the comfort drive.

On it's ( well my maiden voyage home with it ) I stopped at the FL state line to do a walk around and take a break and when I opened the coach door it almost yanked me off the steps it was so windy, and I had no idea at all from how well the RV was handling.
 
Yes, it did include a steering stabilizer. Barely helped.
