As often as we need to stop for gas, food, use of the bathroom or getting some sleep..all of these vary from trip to trip, season to season! :)

Never. We've always had cruise control so you can swap drivers without stopping.

We stop when we feel like it, for potty breaks, to eat or drink, to walk the dog or our legs, to see the scenery or some great new place. Some roads it's every half hour others it could be every 4 hours.
