Finding places to stop along the way (during the day)

Some good suggestions.

A resource you may want is the book "The Next Exit." It details, by interstate exit #, RV-friendlier gas stations, stores and attractions, and also campgrounds. Gas stations can sometimes be a real challenge to get into & out of when towing, but we have found this book to be a real help in deciding where to gas up, or if there's a Walmart available for grocery restocking.
