I am sorry, I do not understand this fasination with staying at stores, or restaurants! In th 15 or so years We have been RVing, I have yet to run into a situation where we have failed to find a conviniant RV park for an overnight stay! Now if I broke down, I might consider pulling into a parking lot until we could get it fixed, but using that location on a regular basis is just not in the cards. If it is money your concerned with, then perhaps you have the wrong hobby.
Try pulling into a campground at 10 or 11 at night and finding someone to pay if there isn't a gate to keep you from entering in the first place. If they even have a pull through site available, you are lucky. Most likely, you will need to unhook the toad to back into a site half blind and not knowing what is where. And, it isn't as if you really need the hook-ups, if you can find them.
It isn't a fascination. We just travel differently than you. For us, a "convenient RV park" on the highway is just a parking space with hook ups. We are completely self contained with no need for electric, water and sewer so why bother with the hook ups at all?
Honestly, I don't understand this fascination to stick with a rigid plan of going from point A to point B within a set amount of time to comply with arbitrary rules someone makes up for their convenience. We have an RV to be mobile, to go where and when we want, not to move our 'house' from point A to point B.
For us, it is never about money - we have plenty. Assuming that it is only about money is why you don't understand the attraction of a convenient RV parking spot without hookups.
