Are there any class B's that do not look like RVs?

(Maybe you could run in for a quick appendectomy )
Or maybe a lobotomy... Just joking. trying to add a little levity.

Because it's quieter. Sometimes I do when I'm moving around but even at most campgrounds (dispersed or otherwise) I put it down at bedtime as it's warmer. When I was in Utah three weeks ago, it was as low as the 'teens overnight. I tend not to travel much in the summers when most others are.

Sorry you're so bothered by what other people do legally but nobody likes to be preached to about what they should do (or not) because *you* don't like it.

So, by the way...if you always get permission, why don't you put up the pop top? Why is it so important to look stealthy?

Of course, I'm out west and no longer have any interest in the east. Maybe things are different in NC but please, don't preach to the rest of us unless you're a federal agent with authority to regulate where RVers park if they have permission.

Apologies for striking a nerve. Of course, where you choose to sleep is none of my business.

However this forum allows for the sharing of opinions.......including mine on the appropriateness of using hospital lots, spaces created and maintained at hospital expense to serve medical personnel, patients and families.

I have always understood why WalMart, Cracker Barrel, Flying J, etc allow or even encourage parking in their lighted lots. They want your business. I understand it is considered the courteous thing to do to purchase something there. Or make a small donation to thank pastors for allowing you to use the church lot.

Maybe you could run in for a quick appendectomy.

Hi CG,

I've never seen a hospital parking lot like that. Some localities solve that problem by passing laws requiring enough parking places decades ago, hospitals, shopping centers, etc.

Good to hear that they solved the problem.

Good point, those hospital parking lots really start filling up at 1:00 in the morning.

Come to think of it, visiting hours were 24/7 last month while my spouse had surgery, and the lot by the entrance to his wing was small and always crowded.
This variation on WallyWorld is news to me...and IMHO, it's pretty tacky for overnighting vacationers to occupy hospital real estate. The only reason they allow RVs (some even provide hookups) is to be of service to families who need to be as close as possible during difficult times, or those who see the motel bills adding up too fast. Sorry, you're there under false pretenses.

In my town they solved such problem by charging by the hour for parking at every hospital,,it adds up real fast and would cost one more than staying at some CG

NCWriter, sorry and maybe I now need to make it specific for you:

Parking somewhere can be Rude, Ugly, Impolite and worse - Anywhere.

Me, I don't park my 190P in regular parking spaces next to anyone, some do.

I mentioned Sportsmobile on the very first page and again on the page preceading this one .Poptop vans are only stealthy until you pop the top then it's very obvious. I know because I have one and nothing says I'm sleeping in the Wal-Mart parking lot like having your top popped. Wonderful vehicle just can't sleep stealthy. Poptops are just a small sampling of what Sportsmobile can do.

Why can't you sleep without the top up? Is the only bed in the pop up? I don't like using Walmarts with my van (but do when we're in the 5th wheel) but if I stay at a hospital or similar, I never put the top up. The sofa converts to a bed and there's plenty of room to hang out. Just not headroom.
