PARKING 5th wheel on streets?

Hi everyone. I'm new to Rv's and wanted to know if its a nightmare dealing with bondocking a fifth wheel? im planning on like a 19-21 ft one, nothing too big, and just a v6 manual tranny pickup to tow it....im hoping anyone here can point me some info on what its like parking on a street with it? also, can i deattach it from my truck and park it alone somewhere? I've camped in Vans before and got away pretty well with always parking it for free...but, with an RV, i feel I'll be harrassed more by cops.

    Are you really talking about boondocking? Or being homeless? I can't think of any residential area where someone wouldn't call the cops if they saw an unknown RV parked on their street overnight. In commercial areas, I would be more concerned about safety at night after all the businesses were closed.
