How old are the kids? Are they use to riding for long hours and then staying in the RV or going right to sleep? I wouldn't suggest letting them play in a parking lot or turning them loose in a store to burn off energy. Most campgrounds/RV parks even those that do not have a designated playground have enough space somewhere out of traffic that kids can play. Check the free campsites website and the ultimate public campgrounds project for city parks along your route that allow overnight stays. Many are very low cost or free and a lot more kid friendly than a parking lot or truck stop.
I think as parents they can handle their Kids travel issues just fine and don't need advice from us. I think it's safe to assume they know not to let their kids run in traffic.
As for the parks idea it has legs but isnt nearly as convenient to the shopping.
I really think they can handle that part of their trip without our interference.
