When we have to overnight while traveling from one destination to another we usually seek out a Cracker Barrel but don't stop in until around closing time so as not to interfere with customer traffic. And we always go in and ask permission from the store manager. We've never been turned down and most have very ample parking including rv parking areas. We carry just enough water to shower up with the next morning before we go inside for their breakfast. We rarely see other rv'ers doing this. We feel safe and secure here as there usually are some deliveries sometime in the night. Other than Cracker Barrel we've stayed at truck stops w/restaurants and park out of the way of the big rigs. Occasionally we'll start traveling very late in the day, drive though the night(lighter traffic and no sun glare) and stay at interstate rest areas. Most don't allow overnighting but since we'll spend 6 or 7 hours there during the day resting up, we've never been approached about it. If we're on the road more than one night we'll alternate with a campground that's close to the highway. We carry a Woodall's book with us and sometimes plan a stop thru that. We've used Google maps and the truck's gps to find stops also.
