Howdy, Nick.
We have stayed overnight at the Camping World in Fort Myers, FL. Their
parking lot is big enough for that. A couple of times we stayed there
because it was convenient to I-75, it was the end of the day and we
were tired. We always did some shopping in the store. One time it was
for a new refrigerator.

Thanks everyone for your input..... I don't mine buying a campsite, but
when I'm enroute to somewhere I often just like to stop for a break and an
over night snooze, then move on.

You might check all the Indian Casino's in your area. I'm going on trip to
California and stopping at 7 feathers Casino just north of Roseburg and maybe
the next night stay at a Casino down in California just south of Redding.

All your major truck stops usually let you park for 8 hours. And we have found
you can stop a some rest-stops for the night. Jon

Does Camping World offer free over nights like Walmart ? Any other well
known businesses that publicly offer that ?

To the best of my knowledge (well not saying much but anyway), most businesses
with large parking lots don't have a problem with you PARKING for the night. Yes
there are a lot of businesses that actually go after the RV parking in subtle
ways. ie. wal-mart, cabellas, cracker barrell, etc. etc. etc. It's the very few
that camp out at these lots that make it bad. If you put it to most folks that
its just to catch some rest as you don't feel safe driving without it. Who is
gonna say you can't. Surely not the law enforcement. I don't think they want
someone ready to fall asleep and wreck on the road, especially thier roads. Big
difference between parking and camping. Just use courtesy and if at all possible
they will say "no problem & have a safe nap".

Here's one that was new to me . . .

I had a visitor yesterday who looked our bus over and asked: "Did I
know about the billboard trick?" Well, I didn't. Turns out that
every billboard with lights and regular maintenance has power, water,
and a place to park. He had owned an old Superior and parked under
billboards all over the west. He said it never attracted any
attention because locals are used to seeing various rigs parked under
billboards all the time.

I haven't tried this, but will be looking at billboards with a new
perspcective next time we are on the road. Things may have tightened
up since he was doing this, but sometimes it is "any port in a storm".

Hi George,
7 F's has both hook-ups and dry camping. A lot of our friends
have stayed there
and really enjoyed themselves. The place is spotless. We never have
since the ranch
is close enough for us to buggie home...

Blair in Oregon who invites you in for a visit.
