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!
This. I haven't had an trouble finding parking with our setup either. Or at gas stations.
Before we got this trailer the biggest thing I ever towed was a 16" car trailer.
At grocery stores you just part further away and take up multiple spaces. Easier at Walmarts and bigger stores.
We've even taken it on a ferry in NC a few times. That is probably the most disconcerting to me, but no issues...the ferry operators know exactly what you need to do.
Our 11 and 12 year old girls love camping. We have been camping with them since they were babies, starting in the old "family" pop-up my mother in law bought new in 1993! It's still in use by others in the family since we bought our own. :)
