Is there “Motorhome storage while traveling”?

As for staying with the relatives. If they've never used an RV for any length of time, they usually want you to stay with them because they think they're doing you a big favor to stay in a house again whereas it's really sort of a pain to pack things up from the RV and move to the house. And then you always forget something and have to go buy it or run back to the RV again. We always insist on staying in our RV when visiting friends or relatives.

Agree 100%. We've visited a lot of family members and we've always stayed in the RV. In one case (my brother), I installed a 50A service connection in his front yard for us to connect to, but that's because we visit them once a year or so.

For the others we visited, we stayed in a nearby campground which had at least electric & water connections. Usually we were only 15-20 minutes away. A few times we were about 45 minutes away. But in retrospect, it was really nice at the end of the day to head to our respective "corners" each night and regroup. This way we didn't interrupt their morning/evening routines other than just a pleasant visit.

People offered to let us stay with them, but we were a family of 6 and often had a dog or two with us. We're kind of tough to accommodate! LOL It really would've been more work and we would've "worn out our welcome" much sooner, I believe. This way, we had 4 & 5 day visits and we were still civil at the end of the visit! LOL

If they're zoning codes allow it and they have the space, can you park in the driveway and connect to 120VAC to keep the refrigerator running? You could still opt to either sleep inside with them or in your rig, but at least if you forget something, you just have to go out to the driveway to get it. Personally, I'd sleep in my own rig...even if I had to stagger out to it after a long night of partying!!! LOL
