Where To Stop

Where To Stop

If your RV trip is short, and you’re headed to a specific destination, you’re unlikely to be too worried about making stops along the way. On the other hand, if your trip is going to take a while, you will need to stop ever so often to stretch your legs. So, how do you know where to take that pause? Here are some tips for the weary traveler.

Shopping Center

From an RVer standpoint, it would make good business sense to allow people who will be eager to supply their trip a spot in your parking lot for the night. Large chains such as Wal-Mart encourage those with motorhomes to use their extra space for free. Any place that is willing to help out a traveler is more likely to profit from that alliance and we hear from customers about how helpful it is all the time.

RV Park

There are over 13,000 RV parks across the nation with amenities and extra facilities waiting for you to use them. As a bonus, there are even free sites to save you some money. We encourage our friends to get acquainted with highway signs coming up to an exit because often an RV park is listed with lodging. Staying at one of these locations is also a great way to meet fellow RVers.

Rest Area

This is another sign to watch out for on the highway because often times rest areas can be extremely useful. They vary from a wooded area with places to park and bathrooms to full service restaurants and gas stations. Most rest areas are open to overnight stints since truckers routinely use them for that. It’s becoming more common to find ones that also have shower facilities, game rooms, gift shops, and grocery stores.
