No Overnight Parking at Interstate Rest Areas
I know a number of states do not allow overnight parking at the state-run rest areas along the interstates. Has anyone been asked to leave one of these locations during the night? We've stayed in them...

rest stops usually have a limit on how long you can park. Usually during that time sleeping in car or trailer is allowed. However, putting out slides, starting the BBQ or anything that looks like camping... No no in most cases.
Rest stops are one place where truckers get there required time off from behind the wheel. 8 hours seems to be a common limit.
That said, we have got some shut eye at rest stops, anywhere from a few hours to 8 hours or so, in the car or in the trailer, slides in, no generator etc. and never have had an issue.
