No Overnight Parking at Interstate Rest Areas
I know a number of states do not allow overnight parking at the state-run rest areas along the interstates. Has anyone been asked to leave one of these locations during the night? We've stayed in them...

When I hit the road full time I was shocked how many of my favorite rest stops along my route where either completely closed, dump station closed, and/or no parking over night signs on them. This was the Midwest area.
On my way down to Florida I pulled into a rest area during the late afternoon to get something to eat and rest a bit.
A state trouper came up to my MH and reminded me of the posted no parking overnight.
AND then went on to tell me that these rest areas where closed to overnight parking because they had become very dangerous after dark especially for travelers in RV's.
He said that the state troupers can not patrol the rest areas all night and pretty much begged me not to stay overnight for my safety.
I thanked him for his concern.
