CWagon,
We don't do sneaky. We do lawful and low key. We do layovers in cities large and small. You develop a sense of where to park successfully which can only come from experience. There are websites devoted to this general subject. BKA on here is the King of the Road in this regard. He won't respond as he is busy Rangering in Yellowstone. There is a LOT of vocal resistance to doing this in some quarters, especially those that own and run campgrounds for profit or have an RV that is too big to hide or must have hook ups, as you no doubt will read below from folks who do not claim own a TC. To them you are simply societal scum; left over hippies trying to bilk the system. The best place is on a public street in full sight, not trying to hide, but taking advantage of the almost universal 72 hour parking limit. I guess our 'sneakiest' layover was late at night pulling to the curb in front of a small light industrial area that had some over the road trucks parked around doing the same thing and waiting to unload in the AM. We got a few winks and left before anyone came to work. I hear Tioga George's website has morphed into a new one, now that his 25 year stint with Miss Tioga has ended. I think he has the longest stretch of overnighting with no pay sites. He has much savvy advice for those who are amenable and are interested in low key living on the road.
For us TC-er's, having a plain Jane rig with no visible 'camping' stuff hanging on or around is imperative.
