Short stays, Travel during these difficult times Overnighting on the road.

If your plans have changed. With campgrounds closing and making travel difficult for everyone. Here is an option.
So you are somewhere full timing. Trying to get home or a family members to help them out. Here a couple of tips.

I hope it helps, and assists other great members as well as the entire RV community.

I can not validate the accuracy of the information. But if you need a place to overnight. Here is a couple of suggestions.

It does cost $50 /yr to be a member. But that is less than half the cost for some national campgrounds. You are normally in a hosts yard and some even offer sewer hookup. Most will provide water and electric for no charge. RVers helping Rvers. How can it get any better than that.


Also from one of the advertisers on the site. There are some really great points made here. Plus it supports one of our advertisers at the same time. Click on the link to the right of any post. Here is a direct reference.

One PM of thanks, NO replies, Where is the support from our members here. Others must have information and offerings. Remember the Montana's TAP. Travel Assistance Program. Break down and a member would volunteer to tow your rig if the truck was broke down and host you in their yard or offer assistance in any way possible.

What ever happened to that and our helping others. Buddy checks and overall helping others. We need this now more than ever.
As a Commander of an American Legion post. We have gone behind the curtain contact, and our outreach are still helping where we can from a no contact point of view.

Maintain the faith. Hope and Distance will keep everyone else safe around us.
MY son stopped by to bring my DW flowers. Left them in the garage. We kept our distance but it was so good for the social interaction.
Hang in there. It is almost over.

Great tip!! I checked into boondockerswelcome and many of the ones in California can accommodate a 41 ft fifth wheel trailer (some owners have a long fifth wheel trailers they pull onto their site), have easy access in/out, often provide hookups, wifi, etc. and let you stay there for 1 - 2 weeks. I am sure we will join once this pandemic ends.

We bought a Harvest Hosts membership but so far I have only found "one" host in California where we could pull a 41 ft fifth wheel trailer in/out. They only allow 1 (maybe 2) nights, generally no hookups or wifi and last I checked in March they were closed until summer (maybe longer now due to the pandemic)
