Tucson Lawrence had the best answer yet "A bad day for me as a middle-aged American citizen with a wife,two healthy boys and a motor-home is better than some folks' best day ever and I try to remember that too... "
Just change it to a North American citizen to include us lucky neighbors to the north.
People often ask me questions about fuel milage, refueling costs etc. at the pumps. I always converse with them and 90% of the time they are folks considering an RV purchase and have the same fears we all had about costs of travel, fuel, maintenence. Heck that used to be me asking the big rig owners those questions!
On more than one occasion these folks have beem able to direct me to great campgrounds in the area, good restaurants, and local attractions not always in the visitor information center. Try engaging them in conversation and you will be suprised. If nothing else they will at least know the RV community is friendly!!
As far as parking lots - we have a running joke that no matter how far away we are from the store and how empty the lot was when we parked there will always be a small city of cars parked around us when we return. We call it the mother-ship syndrom. Kind of like the little vehicles find comfort being close to the large mother ship.
Safe Travels!
