I think you touch on one of the fundamentals of Motorhome trips in the balance between days away and miles traveled. In the planning mode it is all to easy to have a list of places to visit and set out to complete this list. The whistle stop touch and go is fine for those poor individuals that have to get back home to a job. We often have them whiz by us thrashing the camper as fast as it will go. Our style tends to envolve a much more leisurely gait we have the windows down to enjoy the sounds and smells of the journey. We enjoy socialising at the stopovers as well as taking in the local ambiance. A trip out on the local bus or train is always an adventure especially when you do not speak the language. Anyway we firmly fall into the days away lot rather than miles traveled.

My longest trip was about 5000 miles and was from May 12th 2005 to April 15th 2006. I took in France, Belguim, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Hungary again, Slovenia, Italy, France again, Spain and Portugal returning through France.
Our first foreign trip in the van took us from Ireland to Finnisterre west coast of Spain and back. It was a three week trip and yes, we did lamp it a bit at times, but we enjoyed it no end, our often dreamed of road trip. It won't be a record on here I know, but to us it was such an adventure.
Last year we did Taunton to Marbella Spain 1600miles in 2 days then after 7 days there travelled back via Gibralta and Portugal both ways via Calais Eurotunnel totalling 3450miles in 17 days
We loved it and off to Barcelona in two weeks time

Its my fingers typing not me, so donīt blame me if you donīt like what you see
2008 we did 209 days in van and covered 20,897kms ranging over large hunks of western europe averaging 100kms/day.
2010 we did 148 days in van covering 15,769 kms (average of 107kms/day) and the journey was splattered over much of eastern europe, the baltics and scandinavia.
Didn't Blog in those days (well, I still don't) but as I'm planning a 2012 trip I think a blog roll will be required.

our 2 longest trips have been to Croatia in under 3 weeks (north, and wishing we'd had more time to go to Dubrovnik & the islands ) in 2006(?), and last year's 4 week trip down to Tuscany & the Italian lakes. Again we didn't have enough time, and would like to have the health and time to do more .
