Driving overnight I95

Thank you all. We are now thinking GA to rest after gas in SC. Savannah Welcome Center would be half-ish for us but maybe FlyingJ further down road in GA option too. Two hours would certainly work...won't put out the awning. Thanks again.

Coming back from TN couple weeks ago I stopped at the SC welcome center. Noticed a brand new sign for two hour parking and another specifying no-camping among other prohibited activities.

So you could stay for at least 2 hours before moving on.

I worked nights for many years and thought that we would do plenty of predawn and late evening driving.
The first time I came to an unlit long narrow construction corridor at night it was the last. I came to realize how much I relied on my side mirrors and the position of the rear of the coach. Those clues gone it became a white knuckled ride. YMMV.

Permitted stopping time at rest areas varies by state. Often the pertinent laws are posted on a signboard somewhere at the rest area. I don't think I've seen less than four hours as the maximum, but I can't say I've studied every state's laws. Also note that oftentimes parking and camping are a little different to the state; "no overnight camping" can mean "don't set up a tent or pull out your awning or roast marshmallows over a campfire," rather than "don't sleep in your parked vehicle overnight."

One of the reasons why they have "safety rest areas" is so that tired long-distance drivers have a safe place to stop and take a nap.

There are always the Pilot/Flying J's as well. Food, fuel and a safe place to park it for a few hours or overnight.

We've driven 95 South at night quite a few times over the years. Gotta watch out for deer. Otherwise, it is easier than driving during the day. Much less traffic. We have stayed at rest areas in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida with no problems whatsoever. We have done it towing a boat, towing a tt, and with a Class A. Don't recall seeing "no overnight" signs though I have seen "no camping" signs. Never been asked to leave.
