Finding parking with a trailer is not too hard, you just might have to park further away from the store. Your legs probably are going to need stretching anyhow. (It's similar with my class C; I need a minimum of two end-to-end parking spaces, and that's pretty tight for width so a quad of four or a bunch side-by-side is preferable.)
I have very fond memories of a somewhat similar trip I took with my mom in fifth grade (I think it was fifth grade). We mostly tent camped, with a motel stay perhaps every third night on average. We got pretty adept at setting up and taking down the tent!
That makes my heart swell <3 My son is in 5th grade now :) We took a trip to Glacier and Yellowstone last summer and camped in the truck shell, which my hubbie had decked out for us with a plywood base for the bed and hidey holes under the bed for our stuff. Everything was wonderful through our week at Yellowstone. It even snowed one morning! And then we went to Glacier and it was nonstop rain for 3 days. The driving rain penetrated the shell while we were driving there, and our bedding and truck cap were soaked. :E
It was a nightmare! Now we can laugh (just a little). ;) Cut our trip short unfortunately. No matter what, we have those memories forever. !!!! But I want a redo. :D
