A handful of years ago, we had a guy with an old Dodge based Class C ,a little on he rough side, but not an eyesore. We called him the lonely camper since he was by himself. He full timed in his camper. Spent late spring, summer and early fall here, then headed somewhere else (I guess further south/southwest) for the winter. He never stayed in the same place 2 nights in a row. He rotated between 4 or 5 different places to spend the night. He would often times spend the night in public places, like Boat ramps. We have about a half dozen within a few miles radius of our house.
As far as I know, there are no ordinances against parking overnight in open public places in our county. I would imagine CT is a little more uptight, especially in more urban areas. Spend some time online researching the ordinances of the parts of the state you are interesting in spending the night. Make sure you know what the rules are in case you run into a conflict. Education is your best defense.
I would have no qualms staying at the same Walmart night after night, as long as I'm not there during the day. Walmart isn't going to care. Just don't setup camp there. Our lonely camper would spend his days in different places than he spent the night. Often times, he'd spend the day at Flying J in a RV parking spot.
