Often do 250 miles or 6 hours in a day, usually with a quick pit stop halfway.
Rarely do less than 2hrs in a stint.
That is motorway milage.

Usually we tow about 300miles for a main holiday in one stint,although we did tow diagonal across France at about 500 miles in a day, that was a needs must and won’t be repeated as it was a stretch. Most tows are about the 100mile mark for weekend or Easter breaks.

Used to do 400 miles a day in France, but nearer 300 miles per day in Britain. I had a DVT coming back from Scotland in 2017 so now even nit towing any longer I make sure I stop for a 10 minute leg stretch at least every 2 hours. Almost long enough to charge a decent EV. So although I’m on anti coagulants for life I don’t want to push my luck and risk another DVT, as amongst other things it wacks up overseas travel insurance, or could kill me.

PS quoting motorway or autoroute distances.

Nothing written in Clay, I always estimate on 50 mph with another 30 minutes. it all depends on the roads, I am quite happy to do a 6 hour tow including in that a 30 minute break, for fuel and a pee. But, if it is a twisty or rising and climbing tow, that drains you mentally. So 4 hours.
In the UK with no time or ferry time restraints, just go with the flow.
