Well that explains a lot. Crater Lake is a 500 mile / 8 hour roundtrip drive. You must really like to drive. I've been to Crater Lake 5 times now but never without an overnight stay somewhere.

I constantly drive spring for fun since this car is so great on gas and I like seeing new sites. Plus making YouTube videos when traveling around helps with income

Oregon to Florida? That is 6,000 miles / 6 days round trip drive at least. I'm taking it you just like to drive because after making cross-country drives I can't see how driving would be cheaper than flying unless you are sleeping in the car.
For me about 500 miles is my driving limit unless I am either in the campervan doing an extended trip or on the motorcycle. Anything farther and I'm flying there and back for a few hundred bucks. A direct 2 1/2 hour flight to Phoenix is $250 roundtrip. We were supposed to fly down last month for a fly and ride motorcycle trip last month but my mom got sick. Now we have her dog for the winter so that will limit travel until spring. $50 a night to board a dog adds up quick.
