State CG's on L.I. , check the pet policy if that matters to you.
Have your daughter make a connection for a driveway or at a business parking lot will be your best bet.
Some F.D.'s , Moose/Elk Lodges will allow members to park overnite, that might be an option . I have had good luck asking restaurants. Make a call to the owner of Sag Harbor Marina, ask if you can squeeze into a corner , out of the way. Being that your party is planning on eating at the restaurant , they might accommodate a good customer.
If you choose to do this with no dump stations nearby.......
because we have the room in our bathroom, we just installed a second head, an electric flush CURVE porta potty in our bathroom . We are able to dump the portable 5 gal waste tank at any bathroom . This enables us to dump our TT tank once a month. It works well for driveway parking etc where no dump stations are avl.
Use nyc LIVE TRAFFIC CAM websites prior to departing. There is a ton of roadwork going on in and around nyc day and night .
I travel at night and I avoid RT 440 outerbridge crossing and Verrazano bridge crossings at all costs in an rv. You have to use rt 278 (Brooklyn Queens expy) off the VZ bridge due to NO RV use on the Belt Parkway or all parkways on L.I. The exceptions are Wantagh and Meadowbrook Parkway south of Merrick RD rt 27A and Ocean Parkway , Robert Moses causeway s. of rt 27A .
Due to potholes, I broke 3 hitches on the Brooklyn Queens exp.rt 278 as well as rt 95 off the G.W. Bridge. I go north on the Garden State Parkway in NJ (open to rv's) , I go north out of my way to the Tappan Zee bridge and cross the Throgs Neck bridge onto L.I. then rt 495 east .
Its worth the extra 50-60 miles or so .
Make sure your flat screen tv is strapped in place (better yet, I remove mine to a safe place under my bed, they tend to break off the wall mounts around nyc , ( its just a little bonus the city offers)
