An advantage our small RVโs have over big rigs is the flexibility to stay in a variety of different places. Over the years we have stayed in state/federal campgrounds (our first choice), both plugged in and unplugged, commercial RV parks, hotels, the driveways or streets in front of relativesโ homes (while staying inside), resorts, rental houses, and bed and breakfasts. We are burned out on B&Bโs โ they are overpriced for what you get.
When you are in a city, sometimes you want to stay in a hotel. Parking can be a challenge, you have to call ahead and make sure they have outdoor parking because parking garages are a problem. I tell them I have a โhigh top vanโ. We have done this in Miami Beach, Quebec City, Victoria BC, and many other places. Sometimes the parking lot is a few blocks away. It is no problem to leave the RV parked because of our two way refrigerator. When we visited New York, there is an RV park right across the Hudson River from the Wall Street Dock so we took the ferry, very convenient. In Wash. DC, San Antonio, and Toronto, we stayed in RV parks close to public transportation.
This flexibility gives us a great travel experience. When you are tired of camping in the mountains, pull into a Marriott Courtyard for a break!
