    Once I'm parked, I'm either heading inside for food, bathroom, shower, etc, or I'm crawling straight into my bunk. I do all my people-watching at Wal-Mart and the mall, where relatively normal people are at.

    If it's a newer truck with all the emissions bells and whistles what comes out of the engine is practically harmless regardless of where the exhaust comes out of the truck.

    Pull up?

    Eh... a little privacy maybe. Perhaps you are a weed burner. Or that reefer you got on possibly. (Did you password it so no one kills it while you sleep?)

    I think Privacy would be it. You never know some drivers sometimes.

    I never thought about it. But what I do sometimes enjoy is coming into a stop with 5 trucks in tow and 1,2,3,4,5,6 line up together and back at once equally into a huge spot at the same time. That is always a show. But do they pull up? Eh... never thought about it.

    I don't leave the truck, or get in the bunk until both sides are parked.
