If one could pull into a RV Stop similar to a Truck Stop, spend maybe $20 to park overnight, that would be fine, but to drive a distance that makes sense with a working person's limited time off and have to spend maybe an additional hour getting off the highway, navigating to a CG, then going through the check in process, parking, probably requiring an un-hook, then to repeating the procedure in reverse to get back to the highway is not always a viable option. Most CGs are not right on the highway, most, at least in season and on weekends are booked, often months in advance so just pulling in and getting a space is not an option much of the time. What is left? Truck Stops, Rest Areas, Shopping Centers. My standard answer for 46 years is this when asked by the Police to move my vehicle, "Officer, I am currently too tired to drive on, I will gladly move as soon as I am rested enough to safely operate my vehicle. I fully expect that I will be underway in about 4-5 hours." I've only had to say this on very rare occasion, but I have not had any issues when so stating. They I suppose could issue a ticket for illegal parking, I don't believe that so long as you are not creating a hazard by blocking a shoulder or access ramp that most will. If you are parked on the shoulder as many trucks do that might warrant a citation and maybe a common sense check up.
