Lake Tawakoni State Park in early May is absolutely beautiful. 64 this morning. Wonderful. Last night drop to 50’s so no need for any AC, just a great weekend. Park is great with full hook ups, lots of walking trails and trails to the lake.

Understanding this varies person to person, what is your ideal driving time when rv’ing? I like driving and have quite a few long (12 hr plus) continuous road trips under my belt. However, I’m new to rv’ing, pulling a travel trailer (30 feet), and quickly noticed that the drive is not the same as not towing. One benefit (I think 😆) is that I don’t speed when towing. Without I’m usually 5-10 mph over on highways. With, I’m either at or slightly below poster mph- slower if windy. So, the drives definitely feel longer. We are planning our first long trip to Colorado, about 11:30 hours on map, and wondering how to break it up. 6/6, 4/4/4 - it’s a 9-10 day trip in total - North Texas to Cañon City, Colorado in July. What’s your ideal drive time? Any tips, tricks or considerations? Thank you.
