I'm just curious. How many miles do you average per day on the road?

Time is more of a restraint than miles. I try to drive 6 or fewer hours a day while towing. I don't always keep it at that number, but my intention is to do it.

I am closer to my favorite camping location than to work. About 18 miles rount drip for work. It is further for me to drive to the beer store for the 6 pack I get for camping!

Same here. On routine travel days we are usually on the road be 8 a.m. and like to be on our next site by 2 or 3 p.m. That's with reservations. Without, I'll usually begin looking for a place to settle-in soon after noon. The wild extremes thus far have been 20 minutes and 19 hours (including a few short breaks), the latter necessary but I'll never do it again.

Depends on where the job is. I would say no more than 1000miles in a day.

Usually 500 miles is tops, but have done more. This Summer it will be shorter due to some back and neck issues.

I like to drive no more than 3 to 4 hours per day. That usually equates to about 150 - 250 miles per day, depending on average speed permitted by the route. Typical is probably 200 miles per day with average speed about 55 - 60 mph. I don't particularly enjoy driving -- too sedentary for me.
