Short stops along the way - allowed where?
I've been reading a lot about where you can and can't park overnight. Tons of info out there about that. But what about when you're on the road and want to stop to see a small attraction before gettin...

I just park wherever I fit and won't be particularly in the way. It's probably easier for me than some because I have a 32' motorhome with nothing in tow, so it's easier to fit in (and maneuver into) places than some other rigs--but it still needs more than a single car parking space, to be sure.
Generally, museums and stores and such are fine with you parking in their lots for the purpose of patronizing their establishments. That's why they have parking lots, after all. Some even have special areas reserved for RVs and busses. A few parking lots are laid out such that it's hard or impossible to fit an RV anywhere (and parking garages are almost always problematic), but most of the time I haven't had difficulty finding someplace reasonable to park.
Laws about parking on residential streets vary somewhat more, but I haven't generally had troubles with parking there if it's otherwise reasonable. Stopping to visit friends for a few hours and parking in front of their house shouldn't be a problem in practice in general if parking is otherwise permitted. Landscapers or movers or other similar professionals and tradesmen do the same with their trucks and trailers when needed to serve customers.
Large cities are an exception, where the parking often just isn't available and taking public transportation is usually much easier and simpler.
