Part of it is the purpose for the trip. Everybody is different in this respect - a lot depends on the time available. Camping for us is usually a weekend, or long weekend, and we try and plan for travel time one way of 3-5 hours. Traveling is a whole different mind set. We have a specific destination to get to and that's the main focus of our travel days. Those trips are generally 600+ miles per day and overnight in a rest area along the way. No need to unhook or set anything up. Like vcbice, I like to drive and the DW loves to work on various craft projects along the way - so for us it works great.
This fall we'll be giving a combination of those two a try. About 1700 miles total over 9 days where the sole purpose is to see the sights along the way and stop early and relax. One of the things we love best about having the trailer is the flexibility to do what we want, when we want and how we want.
