You don't want to take the MH into the museums or Navy pier.
They are on Lakeshore DR. I won't drive the truck on that street and that's where the museums and Navy pier are. In places it feels like a three lane road that was converted to four.
At best you could get to Science and Industry Museum Taking Stony Island Ave from the Chicago Skyway, but check with the museum as I think most of their parking is in an underground ramp.
You could try Indiana Dunes S P or Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore to
park and camp, there's a train station nearby that runs into the city.
There are two casinos in Gary that might allow you to park and again take the train into the city. I've never been to the casinos so don't know how they're setup.
Good luck with your trip
