Class B RVing. What to Expect..

Should we have a 'Campsite Occupied' sign so our site will be there when we return?

Will we struggle with storage?

How about sleeping in our Roadtrek? Comfortable?

Is the shower practical enough to use, or will we likely seek out campground facilities?

Are we likely to swivel the cockpit seats around, or is that one of those things that's possible, but rarely done

Site occupied sign may be useful. We came back to a National Park campground to find a tenter set up in our site; sites are assigned at this park but they arrived after hours and failed to check the office. They were unhappy when we made them pull up the tent and haul off there firewood.

We have a Sportsmobile Sprinter with a platform bed. Adds a lot of storage space and for me a more comfortable bed. To save space try things like quick dry camping towels; full size towel is smaller than a normal wash cloth. LLBean has some great rain coats and winter coats that collapse to the size of a rolled up tshirt.

Our table is portable and we spin the seats around to use it. We also use them spun around to relax and watch TV.

Shower is used when we stay in National Parks or overnight on the road (Cabelas, Walmart, Rest Areas, road side pullouts). We have enough water and tank capacity to go 3 days with daily navy showers. If we are in a campground with nice showers we use them, but on more than one occasion my wife has walked back to the van and turned on the hot water heater.

If you like Yellowstone, a B adds many more campgrounds besides the ones with reservations. We arrived July 4th last year and grabbed a spot in the park the first night.

Street side parking, I saw a comment above about trouble finding it. Even with 23 foot Sprinter, with a little look we have found it, even tourist spots like Bar Harbor, Maine. Look for end spots or side streets with less traffic than the main drag.
