Several good suggestions, but I would not try on the west coast. In fact Reno, Nevada has passed ordinances against RV over night parking.
Sooooo loooong winded
How about casinos. Have stayed at casinos in a number of places. 24 hour food and facilities.
I hate to reveal this secret, a lot of ppl might start using it before some states get hip and might stop this practice. The #1 far best place to park your RV overnight is in any downtown, rather it be a major city or small towns. The average parking meter on a downtown street allows you to park free between 6pm/6am, Weekends free. It’s very rare for the police or anyone else to bother you as long as you stay out of sight, and not appear as your camping. if by chance you do run across a cop, tell them you’ve been driving an X amount of hours, and you need a few hours rest. (Exaggerate driving time if need be) the more hrs the better, they may let you stay a lot longer. I’m a retired RVer I traveled the country for 10 yrs. I’ve never had any problems parking in any downtown. Except once I did over sleep during a weekday an got a ticket for a expired meter because I didn’t wake up in time before it was time to start paying. (After 6am)
I plan on trying all of them…in my imaginary RV.
Boat ramp parking lots.
I would ask to stay in church parking lots. Just because it’s not used much in the week does not mean someone would be welcome to stay there.
5 minutes in still don’t know where to park

First 6 minutes was talking but no info!
Hard to go stealth in that McMAnsion!
Dude, with all due respect, what planet are you living on, they don’t build the parking lot first they build the store first it’s a dirt field and the last thing they do is pour the parking lot, I don’t know what you’re smoking but I sure would like to have some, y’all might need to consider closing your channel out after this video this is the worst video that you have ever ever ever produced. This list should be put in the black list of never ever ever even consider this bullshit that Tom is feeling right now. You’ve lost your ever-loving mind!!!!!!!
Casinos
O my gosh, you do know that Americans like myself have wicked short attention spans right? It took a full 6 minutes before introducing the first one! Some of the talk could of been put in gaps between each listing no?
Where is that your camping at for $10. night you never said.
What about a spot to stay much longer than just overnight?
What about Bucee’s? Maybe they allow it as well.
My daughter and son in law were traveling to a cheerleading convention and when they had to stop on the way to their destination all hotels were booked. I would have loved it if the policeman they talked to had suggested parking in the police station lot. Super safe is my first thought! Many times campgrounds have over-flow lots to pull in if you need to. I do think they charge a fee. This is good information for college students driving home from college in a car also . Be sure your student knows where to ‘safely’ park if they need to get a few hours sleep on their long trip home. I personally have offered college students that I know, to pay if they need to get a room rather than risk driving when tired. After 25 years I have never had any take me up on the offer, but I have had several say they were grateful that the offer was there for them. Safe travels everyone. Again, be sure that young people know this information even when driving cars and even seniors when driving long distances.
Get on with it.
It’s frustrating to have everting you say “I’ll tell you about that later in the video”…….just get on with it.
Kmart?
RV and Camper people who treat the lot as a trash can or toilet, or my personal favorite, have leaky shit tanks, are the main reason it’s getting ruined for everyone.
When you see all of the homeless camps set up all over the cities on the sidewalks and streets, it makes you think you can just park anywhere
Casino
i dont know. maybe these places might work, but your misinforming the crowd.
universities???
really rv in a parking structure?
I have a VW Camper, it’s practically considered an automobile!
I’m just looking into getting my large family an rv for my family and I wanted to be sure I proceed respectfully and comfortably so I really appreciate this video especially the rv manners at the beginning lol
Interesting video! Thank you for the info. We’ve stayed for free at two places that surprised us as options. Both went very well. Always ask first! One was the Welcome center for a new state we entered, and they had a dump station, too. Also noticed another regional welcome/visitor center, which we didn’t use, but they had hookups and a dump station. The other was the visitor center at a shared National Park/State Park site (Indiana Dunes). No RV services, but they had picnic tables, trash receptacles, and the public restrooms you could use until they closed. Safe travels!
I was an on-site hotel Manager while doing van life. I do not recommend it!!! The all have cameras and an app on their phones. They can watch from ANYWHERE!! They will come out and tell you to move. Huge hotels off the freeway might be ok, but never small hotels.
No Walmart or Library parking in CA. Very difficult here!
I would suggest large chain grocery stores.
Casinos definitely!
Thank you for all of the great info in your videos! Suggestion— less hand and arm waving— it can be distracting when it’s throughout the whole video.
Casinos have huge parking lots.
We have stayed at racetracks , Police Stations , Fire Departments , Hospital Parking lots , Texas Steak House Parking lots and Hotel Parking Lots ……
Now with that said ….. we have a large pop up camper …… Some places did allow RV’s but where not too crazy about pop up campers because it took more time to breakdown and close up ….. incase we needed to move out quickly for some reason …. and had to disconnect the vehicle to set up the pop up ….
So we found that pop up campers where not always as welcome …. But generally did allow setups that vehicles did not have to disconnect from a vehicle …. My personal experience going back and forth from Indiana and Pennsylvania . I have tried elsewhere yet .
It’s very frustrating when someone takes 6 minutes telling you what they are going to talk about. That’s what the thumbnail is for. Please don’t have such an extended introduction.
❤thank you
In Florida, Mickosuckee Casino, $25.00 a night, but nobody is looking.
You can use their indoor pool, sauna, jacuzzi and hot shower (ADA), you pay inside lobby, you go and get a $20.00 credit for gambling.
Just sleep during the day, so you can park anywhere. And be active a night.
Were you in North Dakota when recording this?
Can buy an RV or truck/trailer and too cheap to pay for a space? Moochers
4 minutes in and you are still just blabbing your mouth, get to it dude, damn….
I live in my 94 f150 for few years now in Canada and I always respect earth and signage
Thank you that’s really interesting.
Back in 1978 we traveled with our 1958 15’ Shasta trailer. We always found a place near water without $. That was when we were staying for a week or more. Overnights we just stayed at rest stops or side of a back road. Back then there weren’t so many doing it. The one place we stayed for $60. Mo. Was Tempe AZ. It was a rundown trailer park next to an upscale self contained park. Our showers weren’t operable so we’d hop the wall and use the shower there.
Marinas might work in some places but Oregon and California I would not recommend trying this due to the homeless situation. It is becoming very strict.
Dude, easy on the hand swinging
You talk too much
You are correct in regards to Universities! I have parked over night in front of PSU and you do get to use the WiFi! Kaiser has also let me spend the night if you have an appointment the next day. The local mall however did ticket me after 8 daytime hours, and we were at the mall the entire time. The restaurants were still open so it was a warning they are not okay with any long term stay. Thank you for the video! Jennifer
Yep, you’re in Pennsylvania
My hospital I am at now is in midland/odessa, texas and we have a ton of travel healthcare workers that bring their rvs and we have rv parking long term in the back of the hospital.
Some hotels in Texas makes you give your license plate to make sure you’re renting a room. In my part of Texas, we had a security guard going around the mall that wouldn’t let you stay there. Someone in a group that I’m in suggested gym parking lots. They are 24/7 and you have a bathroom to use all night and showers. I camp out of the cab of my truck so I have to have restrooms anywhere I’m gonna be. In my area if you’re hanging out in just about any empty parking lot you’re gonna get a knock on the door.
