Yes, you are clinically insane.

You will be glad to know that there are thousands of us that are going to get behind the wheel TODAY and start searching for you. We will see the sunrise, watch as the forests disappear into prairies, climb mountains (slowly), look into the deep valleys of the west, compare the waves marching to shore on both coasts, marvel at the changing color of autumn in New England and stare in awe at the purity of snow blanketing the landscape.

You cannot escape us - we will continue to track you down. And, once we catch you, we will cure you by repeating our journey's highlights over a cocktail, on the curbside and around campfires.

We will be gentle.

I like driving. Only thing i dont like is i spend more time just paying attention to the traffic around me than the sites. So much traffic/truckers and idiot inconsiderate drivers, have to pay more attention to keeping us safe.

I'd rather be moving, driving, fixing the bus or anything other than sitting on the beach or campground bored off my behind.

I agree. For us, after 43 years, traveling is still as much enjoyment as being at the destination. Of course, the occasional travel day can be a pain but so can some destinations.

I just bought my motorhome last year and have taken two long trips. I agree driving the rig is awesome. Well at least after the cheap handling fix haha.

I love driving our rig, try to do about 300 miles a day if heading to a camp ground, longer if heading to camp Walmart.

We try and stop every 2 to 2-1/2 hours to stretch our legs and relieve the bladder.

I see lots of folks that talk about monthly camp fees. I don't think I could wait a month between driving times lol.

Been RVing as the driver for 50 years and another 10 as a passenger in every type of RV. What’s there not to love about a good handling big DP other than the 45 cents/mile for fuel. Been across country so many times that there is nothing in the middle we need to see again...still do the 1500 miles to CO in 2 days. Couple summers ago I even made it to the Tetons in 48 hours but started at 6PM so 2 times sleeping. Helps that I have a came bladder...good for 400 miles.

I love to travel in my RV. Mostly I have no predetermined plan.
I take the backroads, stop every couple or three hours and just see where I end up.
Might be back home in a few days or a month or two.

You may well be crazy, but that doesn't have anything to do with your question.
