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...

(Almost 60 feet long here)... Park anywhere we can fit. Usually, even in small towns, the "attraction" will have some kind of adequate parking. If not, just pull on the side of the street in front of someone's house. As long as there is no "No Parking" signs, park it anywhere you fit.
We strive for parking lots first at the attraction we are wanting to visit (even a Mom and Pop restaurant in a small down-town, we've been able to turn the corner and park in a lot, if not on the street close to the establishment).
When all else fails, there are church parking lots too. As long as you are actually "Parked" and not "camping", we've never been hasted for parking anywhere. We've had some home owners stare at us cross-eyed sometimes, but if the attractions is near them, they usually just give a wave. They know we won't be there long. Now granted, it may not be that way everywhere, but here again ... we're talking smaller-out-of-the-way "country towns" (as we call them in Indiana), where folks are just not so up-tight. But here again, every location is different.
1) Look for established parking first.
2) Search for established parking at the attraction you want to visit.
3) Search for established parking on the street
4) Search for a parking lot that is large enough for your rig, like a church, hospital, elks club, or something like that.
5) Go over a block or two and just park on the street where parking is permitted, but don't block anyone's driveway. If you see local residents, let them know you'll be be back shortly. 99% of the time, the will wish you well and are kind of grateful you are spending money in their little "burg."
