Just wondering
How many of you that own 5th wheels stay overnight at either Walmart parking lots or one of the Travel Plazas? My dh would like to do this when we are going and coming from vacation ,but how on earth ...

Happy prospector, been rvin 40+ years! It was a question! And my thoughts if u can't afford to pay for a spot overnight maybe u should not rv. Just saying!
For us, it doesn't have anything to do with money. Sometimes the campground isn't very close to the freeway. I do all the driving with the trailer and when I'm tired, I use the Next Exit book to find a Walmart close to the freeway. We park way out in the lot, go inside and ask permission if nobody else it out there doing the same, purchase something we need, use the restroom, and go to sleep. We're usually on the road by 8'ish the next morning. We did this without a generator on our previous 5th wheel but didn't use the shower, but I'm pretty sure you'll be fine using it. I suggest just trying it out one night and see if it's for you. Maybe try it in your driveway? Leave the heat on all night if you need to, then try your morning routine and see if your battery will handle it.
