Now that we own a Motorhome, we only use campgrounds for camping. If we are just stopping for the night, we are in a Wal-Mart parking lot. We did that a couple times in the travel trailer, but the weather had to be just right. I can't sleep if it is too hot and my wife can't stand being cold.
I have to assume from this post that you may run the generator all or most of the night to keep cool or warm. You have to factor in the cost of operating that generator. Fuel and maintenance costs can approach $1.00 per hour. If a campground charges $25 per night, and many do, and you run the generator for 10 hours, then you are really only paying $15 for the campground that will offer amenities, safety, and quiet as compared to a truck stop or Walmart.
