This is our first year of double towing. I try to find places were I dont have to unhook. We dont usually go to rv parks and mainly boondock. I use google earth a lot to see what an area looks like. Heading west from Michigan our first night was in a small township park in the U P. Second night was in a Walmart in Wiscosin. Third was at Cabelas in Nebraska and following 5 nights in an rv park in Nebraska. I stumbled into it when looking for a Boon D area which had not been reviewed. They let me dry camp for $10.00 a night.
Google earth is excellent for planning a route and seeing everything from Walmart access to gas stations etc. Walmart is more of an emergency stop for us as the quality of the areas can vary widely. I try to map out a few options in any area we go to and write down the directions as the gps wont work in all areas 100% of the time. I'm in the Denver area now and get crazy gps results at times. I was sitting at a walmart yesterday near Arvada and it wanted to take me to a walmart over in wheat ridge and the one I was at has been there several years.
I have been in a few crazy spots in previous years and had to back into fields and turn around in very tight parking lots etc, but now those same spots would be a crisis so it's a lot more stressful. It is a whole new game now and I just have to adapt to it and do my homework before heading out.
