Not to sound too hard but if 'camping' at Walmart & such places is necessary to do the trip maybe you might want to look at your travel budget.

I never did get this "have to find a place to park" thing. You have a self contained unit; park it anywhere you want to park as long as it's legal to park there.
I've stayed anywhere it's legal to park. I've stayed at WM, at Lowes, at Cracker Barrel, at truck stops and more than likely a dozen other places. I've stayed along side of a road or on a street many, many, many times. I just make sure I'm legally parked and I go to sleep. It really is that simple................at least it is for me!

If you are staying for a number of days move your rig around and change clothes so you dont look homeless.

Only to wake them all up again at 6 am when I pull out on my way to my destination. If I'm traveling, I aim for rest stops, Wal-Mart, or truck stops because I know I won't bother anybody by pulling in late and leaving early. And I won't need or use any of the campground amenities.jarata1 wrote:ScottG wrote:
Not to sound harsh but if my only means of traveling the country were to have to stay in parking lots it just wouldn't be worth it for me. That just doesn't sound enjoyable to me.

I'm on the road at zero-dark-thirty each morning and even in the best of the summer daylight I'm never off the road until way past dark.
Maybe it's just the considerate part of me but I would NEVER pull into a campground so late and then depart before dawn and disturb a park full of people on vacation, and paying for some R & R.
Not everyone who travels by RV is a retiree who can be off the road by 3pm and not need to head out before 10am.

Because it was completely legal or because you didn't get caught and cited?
