Re: Finding safe location for boondocking
We go by our gut feeling. A place that feels fine one day be be different next visit. Often it depends on other people in the area at that time. If we have neighboring boondockers, we make a point of walking over and getting a feel for them. If they seem okay, we stay and, although unspoken, we now feel we're sort of looking out for each other. For urban areas, we just learned of a free app called SpotCrime that shows up-to-date crime maps for various areas of a city. Have yet to try it ourselves, but it seems like a great tool. It's at the play store at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotcrime.spotcrimemobile&hl=enhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotcrime.spotcrimemobile&hl=en417Views0likes0CommentsRe: Boondocking Article
If RVing is no longer a more affordable option than traveling by car, the entire industry will suffer. The ability to save money by boondocking on the way to our destination (which is most likely a campground or RV resort) benifits the entire RV industry - from manufacturer, to dealer, and campground owner. The money saved will likely be spent at our destination (we may even stay a few extra days). We spend a lot of money to buy, register, insure, and maintain a self-contained RV that gives us the option to boondock. Now we find out it's illegal almost everywhere? We may as well sell it, travel by car, stay at motels and eat in restaurants. They could use our business too. These four, unique, web sites are one way to fight back. Each is well worth the annual low-cost membership: https://www.boondockerswelcome.com/ http://harvesthosts.com/ http://rvgolfclub.com/ http://overnightrvparking.com/463Views0likes0Comments
