300 a day is our target distance and figuring 50 mph works well (although I usually drive 65 mph on the highway.)

Reservations a MUST.....no if, ands, or butts.

When I am driving I want my total attention to be on that task at hand.
If in a crowed city, etc, I even ask my wife to turn off her "Judge Judy" reruns, so I won't be distracted.
Having to search and find a spot to lay over would be a constant drag on my mental awareness and fertile ground to find an argument with wife if I am tired and this spot just isn't good enuff, etc....

Planning can be fun and a very cool part of trailering itself.

Depending on where we are going, we shoot for about 300 miles/day. Of course, if we're stopping along the way for sightseeing then this could be considerably less.

As others have noted, we call our envisioned next stop to make a reservation when we first hit the road. On rare occasions when our first choice doesn't work out (i.e., we can't get a reservation) we "look around" that area to see what else is available. The DW likes using the phone app RV Parky, but I usually have a list pre-made of our stop-over points and campgrounds in that vicinity.

We don't drive over 55 when towing, so if it's a straight shot (i.e., no sightseeing stop) the actual average mph might be around 45-50, which includes stops for gas, rest and food, so we're on the road 7+ hours. I prefer the back roads versus the interstate; drivers are much less crazy, the scenery is better, and one never knows what touristy attraction one will randomly run across.

And as others have said, I prefer not to drive at night; arriving at a campground in the daylight makes it much easier to park.
