In November, I don't see you needing electricity for an overnight stay. If its super cold, some extra blankets will get the job done. Or like 'GolfCart' said, grab a generator to be able to run your heat if needed. If you're looking to save money though, just suck it up with blankets. We stayed in Florence, SC in late June in a Walmart and it was hot, but I just turned on the Fantastic Fan and a floor fan plugged into an inverter and we stayed cool enough to sleep through the night, even though it was already 80 something early in the morning.
To avoid being bothered at Walmart, just go in and let them know you'll be staying in the lot overnight. They appreciate the heads up and might tell you to park in a certain area. I typically just park without notifying if I see other RVs or tractor trailers parked there and I stay towards the back and as far from others as possible. Some WalMarts don't allow overnight parking, but there are usually signs if that is the case. It's rare and most of the time that happens in/near cities. The nice thing is many are open 24 hours so you can grab some late night supplies or food and be ready to roll come the morning.
Just don't push it too far. The last thing you want is to be tired, trying to find a place to sleep and hauling a few thousand pounds behind you. One quick head doze when you're sleepy and you could have 50ft of vehicle/trailer flying all over the road. Plan for 100 miles every 2 hours while towing. That's a basic rule some truckers use and it worked out to be almost exactly that on our trip from FL to MD and back.
