RV Transport and Parking

Just speaking for myself, I fuel at the truck pumps with my Comdata card. Most major truck stops have some parking for RVs if they are not filled with bob tails tractors I have watch many drop their trailer bob tail to the front and them go back and hook to the trailer again. When I'm under a load I never drop the trailer until I get to the dealer and my BOL is signed. I will park in the truck lots because I'm a commercial vehicle and most of the time I'm at 65ft in length. When not under a trailer I don't stop at a truck stop unless I need fuel or a shower. Parking in the RV parking you will find drunks always want to fight right next to you at 3AM while you try to sleep.

 

Last time I use Walmart got hit and run cost me $2,700.00 bucks. Some won't let you park anymore. I only stop for supply now.

 

I see rv haulers at pilots and flying j's quite often. Your commercial so who cares, especially if you fuel up there too. And I stayed at a walmart in Baton Rouge once but only cause I was out of time and the only truck stop was a little pilot. I wouldn't say it was the best night sleep I ever got but I made sure I hid between some other trucks there.

 

I fuel at the truck pumps and stay at the truck stops all the time. I always try to park in the front but will park with the big trucks if I have to. Never been hassled by truck stop managers, truck drivers or drunks.

 

If you have a iPhone or Android device there is a pretty good app that has the walmart near by that are open to parking overnight. Do a search on “Walmart Overnight Parking Locator” in the store. I have been using it for the past year. So far - so good.
