Planning Your RV Travel Day
Unlike car travel, RVing requires more realistic time estimates. Larger vehicles, lower speeds, and frequent stops all add time to your trip.
The 3-3-3 Rule
Many experienced RVers follow the 3-3-3 Rule: Travel no more than 300 miles per day, arrive by 3pm, and stay at least 3 nights. This reduces stress and gives you time to enjoy your destination.
