Quick camping

Thanks for all the different location to spend while traveling. If others have other locations, please post.

Stayed at a Cracker Barrel last fall for a night....ate supper and breakfast at 6 am when they opened.  Discussed with manager first.  I think I did unhook just to take the load off the truck and WDH...may be unnecessary but personal preference.  It may have also been slightly unlevel.  Had water and it was really weird to take a shower in the CB parking lot.  Slide out for sure.

I use WalMarts or truck stops.  I try to carry the water I need to reach my destination.  I don't unhook or put the stabilizers down.  Unless I'm really just catching a few Zs, I will run the slide out usually.  Why not?

For overnights, I leave the R-Pod hitched up. For overnights, we look at Flying J or Pilot truck stops. Truckstops of America is also a place which will allow stays. The only place that flat turned us down was a Petro truck stop. In any case, stop in and ask permission to stay and where to park. We also have stayed at Walmarts overnight. The same applies about going in and asking for permission and where you should park. I try to find a level spot, or as close to it as I can. If possible, I try to find a spot where the front, if not level, will be just a little lower than the back. If I need to, I use an Andersen leveler to level side-to-side and the jack to level front to back. I do not disconnect for an overnight, but I do lower the stabilizers. If there is adequate room, I do extend the slide-out since it isn't that wide. For safety, I have put reflective tape on the front and back walls of the slide-out so it will be visible to anyone driving nearby.

I use the RV Parky app on my phone to help locate places to stay. It has overall been pretty accurate. I always go in and ask permission first, even if the app says that it is okay. It is only courteous to do so.

For water, we travel with water in the tank unless it is freezing and we have to travel winterized. If that is the case, I have an 8-gallon Hydroller water carrier that we use for water. If needed, RV antifreeze can be used for flushing #2. Even if the RV antifreeze in the black and gray water tanks is diluted from use, it still provides protection.
