That's quite a trip Mike!

Chnlisle might give you a run for your money on this one.

My truck wasn't even warmed up when I got to where my camper was for sale..about a mile..

Makes my measly 600 mile R/T seem like nuthin'!

1200 miles, but that included detours to Lake Tahoe and Jalama Beach.

I think its about 30 miles to woodland? I guess I'm not quite in the running.

 

[chnlisle]

I did a 2500 round trip to get the one TT has. My Hawk was 2400 RT.

 

[CJ8Rockcrawler]

I'm out of the running as well... mine was only about 200 miles round trip.

You got me beat. I found a used 2000 Eagle in Atkinson, IL. In February 05. Left Reno on Wednesday had the camper installed Thursday and was back home in Reno on Friday. About 3600 miles round trip. I do "iron Butt" rides on the GL1800 so not too much of a challenge. Had the usual weather one would expect in February, blowing snow etc. Only one little hiccup was at a rest stop in Laramie. I had the dealer remove the camper jacks for the trip back west and carried them on the floor of the camper. At the rest stop I took a power nap in the back and when I woke up (it was dark) I thought one of the jacks had somehow rolled over on my boots. Found out my boots and laces had frozen to the floor! Perfect moment to "bound" oneself to the FWC eh?!

Shortest?

No travel required: Marty and Jeff installed in in my driveway...

San Diego to Portland

I did about 2200 miles r/t to pickup my 93' Ranger. Was a good trip.

Way to go DK, you got one!! We need pics of the (other)
T-100 4x4 with a Ranger on the back...please!

 

[SunMan]

Congrats to the both of you on the new campers!

Sacremento, CA to Huntsville, AL, according to MapQuest is 2301 miles! If we get down to street addresses, I may have you beat.

OK, so do I owe you a beer or you owe me a beer? (I like DARK beer.)

It's reassuring to know I'm not the only loon out there. Labor day weekend I drove from Las Cruces, NM to Sacramento via LA and took a more leisurely route back through Tahoe, Great Basin, and Moab.

I just returned to New Orleans with new Hawk from Woodland, CA. Google says 2247 mi, I did 6300 miles roundtrip. Didn't take shortest route either way. I was in no hurry and had a great time. Saw lot of places I would like to revisit when less crowded.

 

[Stalking Light]

Wow, I thought Marietta, GA to Prescott was a long trip. Guess it was just a jaunt. About 4k miles round trip with some stopovers.

 

[takesiteasy]

I can't compete at only 1900 miles one way. But if you count my trip to visit the factory before ordering and then the return trip to pick up the new camper, about 1900 miles one way times 4 equals about 7600 miles!

Of course we did lots of other things along the way so I don't really count it as driving to get the camper. Just picked it up along the way during a trip. How's that for rationalization...

Durango, CO to Jackson Hole, WY. About 1400 miles RT.

 

[smlobx]

We just drove from VA to CO to pick up our Hallmark at the factory.
We drove 3340 miles round trip. My wife commented that that was the longest road trip we had ever taken together.

I said "Honey, you ain't seen nothing yet!"
