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.
Lol, exactly what I was thinking. I'd park on the side of the road anywhere and....Rest, you don't need a designated area to do it.
true, a rest area is not 'needed' but it's a heckuva lot safer than pulling off on tne shoulder of an interstate hwy (where the majority of rext areas are located). if no
rest areas we'll chk 'next exit' and look for a wally, mall, etc...anything with a large pking lot.
