Cwagon,
If you are up to some more verbal abuse, cruise on over to the Boondocking forum on here. A while back I posted what I thought was an innocuous little ditty about stealth camping technique (a term, unfortunately in the public domain now) and was hammered by the giant RV/must pay for a site, 'I own a campground', 'my way or the highway' zealots. The final point was, they didn't like the term stealth camping. Check out that post. It had one of the largest number of responses of any thread ever on the Boondock forum and broke off into several subsets. Although we do very little layovering, it's still kind of fun to know what's legal, ethical, appropriate and where the edge is in that regard. To keep it interesting while traveling, (notice I said traveling, not camping) we try to use the whole gamut of choices of where to spend the night, from, just pull over for a short night of shut eye to parking the camper on an urban street and checking into a high bucks hotel. Why? Because most hi end hotels have a low entry vertical clearance parking structure. Just as a good sandwich is all about the bread, for us while traveling It's all about the hunt. By serendipity, or by design, we're never out of options.
