All excellent questions. I cover 29 counties here in eastern NC, from Charlotte to Wilmington east and west and from I-95 up to Asheboro and Liberty North and South. Right now I average about 1100 miles a week on the company van; and that's a lot I guess. I am also the Lead Operations Engineer and I am responsible for training new guys, paperwork, reports, etc. I usually stay in NC or SC for some of that, but I have been to TN and KY for work as well.
I spent a year going through a divorce knowing that I was going to get an RV when it was all said and done, and spend a year or two on the road trying to figure out where I want to end up. In that year, I worked out all the details for where I can stay. For example, I can stay at my sons house in Charlotte and plug up there. I can stay with my niece in Wilmington and plug in there. So far I have about 8 different "private campgrounds" I can stay for basically FREE. There is a sewer clean-out at my daughters house where I can dump and there is a campground a buddy of mine owns and I can dump there if need be.
The plan is to move about once a week, depending on what part of my route I am working, and then move where I want too on the weekends (short trips) to the beach or mountains or where-ever.
I will do quite a bit of boondocking too, so I like the idea of a Class C, all self contained.
