Hi RV Group! I hope you had a great weekend! I am Brian, and I currently live in Northern NJ, but will be attending graduate school in Connecticut (University of Bridgeport) in... OMG 3 WEEKS! LOL (August 19th, 2024 is my first day). I am a newbie with RV owning (I’ve rented a few Class C’s in the past, but I am looking to purchase a Class A by the end of the week), and I am struggling a bit with finding parking on/near campus for the RV. I rather invest in an RV rather than waste it on dorms/housing with the school. But lo and behold now comes the issue of where to park the RV, while paying minimal rent as possible (since I will also have some RV loan to pay while in school, as well as my tuition, as well as cost-of-living in general, etc). I will solely be using the RV to sleep in at night and to study in. But I probably won’t even start parking in Connecticut until the early winter (whenever the weather starts to get bad). Otherwise, I plan on commuting everyday from NJ to CT (which is 2 hours each way). But I want to have the option to crash in the RV if the weather is bad, or if I have exams and need to focus on studying and not commuting, etc.) Straight to the point: does anyone know of anyone looking to rent their driveway or yard space for me to park on? All I would need is access to electricity (which I’d also be happy to pay). I would fill and dump at appropriate stations. I looked into campsites, and they are more $$$ than the school housing. My biggest concern is also winter. I’d like to have access to electricity so I can plug in a heater to keep the RV pipes from freezing. Any and all advice would be much appreciated! I already posted on a several FB Marketplace pages, Craigslist, and posted on the NextDoor App. I was actually directed to try here, RV.net. Others advised to park at Walmart, Cracker Barrel, etc., just to get permission from management. While I love this idea as well, I still need to solve the electricity issue, and worry about being plowed in if it snows. I hope someone can help! Thanks all! Happy RV’ing, Brian ... View more

We are in Virginia Beach Virginia. I have a 3/4 ton truck pulling 40’ fifth wheel.  Is there a better route to go than i64? I live in Kentucky. There are 3 or 4 good 4-5 mile mountain climbs that seems are going to be a bear on my truck. I was looking at maybe going i95 to Washington and then i270-i70 through Columbus then i71 home My question is are the big mountain climbs that way? Thanks for any info.  ... View more

Anyone have tips on best routes heading south since the Francis Scott Bridge is shut down and our fifth wheel cannot go thru the tunnel.   ... View more
