Departed Cabot AR drove to Black Hills SD, from there went to Grand Forks ND, then over to Washington DC, from there to Petersburg Va then over to Dollywood TN, then back to Cabot AR, I believe just a little over 5000 miles. Great trip, met some fantastic campers and of course a few that wasn't so fantastic and also a few road hogs along the way.

Five weeks. The great national park trek- from Oklahoma to Great Sand Dunes National park, Mesa Verde, Arches, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, The Red Woods, Yosemite and home. A little over 5,000 miles. Planning a day or two and had not campground reservations when we left. It was a great trip.
We spent about a year planning a trip from near Seattle to Newfoundland with some good friends in another coach. On the way back we included a tour through New England states to see the fall colors. We got as far South as West Virginia. We departed the last week of July (two years ago) and got back near Thanksgiving. Total distance was around 9,000 miles. It was wonderful!
Twice we've wintered in Florida, returning to Seattle for Spring and Summer.
Lately our trips have been infrequent and short. I really miss the long ones.

Our longest trip. Was about 15,000 Miles. Left Oregon on the 2nd of July traveled East through the Northen US to Main. Then up the coast of Canada to Labrador,down to Virginia and then back to Oregon through the middle of the country. Got home on the 12th of Oct. Do the math. Great trip. Recommend it.
NY to Alaska we planned for it about 6months. Even tho we went on a caravan there was still the trip to and from.. well worth the planning..we were gone away from home 3months..well worth the time planning and the trip
Good luck on retirement

Had two pretty long ones:
- Sacramento, CA to Tampa and Orlando, FL It lasted about a month and mileage was about 6,000 miles round trip. We didn't spend much time planning it, just went on Good Sam trip planner and mapped out the route. We pretty much planned the stops on a daily basis, using Trailer Life Directory
- Our most recent one was from Sacramento, CA to Forest City, IA (Winnebago factory). It lasted about three weeks and was a total of about 5,000 miles. We didn't spend much time planning it, just went on Good Sam trip planner and mapped out the route. We pretty much planned the stops on a daily basis, using Trailer Life Directory

7800 miles in 30 days, to Alaska and back, in June, 1997. Yes, it wasn't enough time, but it was the longest time I could be away from work, and I wanted to take my Mom while she was still alive and we could both appreciate the scenic beauty. Funny thing, sometime in March of that year, I suddenly said to myself, "I want to go to Alaska", and I spent the next several weeks reading books, researching routes, calling campgrounds and preparing for the expedition. It was kind of an impulse, and it was memorable, but I wouldn't repeat it, at least not without more time and a second driver.
