Why are so many rest stops closed?
I'm heading west from NC on my way to Los Angeles along I-40. I've noticed that about 30% of the rest stops are closed. Why is that? Is it because of budget cuts, restoration, abuses by travelers? ...

Closed..........for all the reasons mentioned
As for 'planning'
You're in a 'self-contained RV'
Pull over at an exit/side road/wide spot.......and then use your facilities as needed.

You just pull over where safe.
Having spent 30+ yrs in CA-never counted on an Open Rest Area. Few and far.
This! We stop at rest areas if available, otherwise we find a very wide shoulder and or safe area. A couple of rest areas we stopped at were downright scary and felt the dangers of the shoulder were safer!
