According to some on here you should not be allowed to own any sort of RV if you're not willing to "boondock" whatever that means.
To me it means TRESPASSING. I don't know how you can just pull off the road on to some random trail and set up camp wherever you feel like.
I guess the question is, how can you just stop on a whim and be sure you're not on someone's private property? Or do you even care?
I know I'd catch you just once. You'd be waking up at 2AM to your truck and camper being dragged on the end of a chain by a large 4WD tractor, and the county sheriff's deputy right there, cheering me on.
People seem to think that just because there's no house visible, that the land belongs to nobody, and they can just do what they want.
lol, pretty good rant there.
Let's be honest; beyond commercial parking lots (yes, privately owned) most that 'boondock' are on public lands. Washington is over 40% public...I think Idaho is 60%. Not hard to find a place to sleep.
Debate is open whether parking in a Home Depot, WalMart, etc, lot is acceptable. I'm ok with it, as are most retailers I've spoken with. But as far as undeveloped land? Yea, I'm going to go out on a limb and say most aren't on 'private' land.
