    Very educational for the kids though. Especially once it starts to get dark.

    You're probably right. If only a vlogger with tens of thousands of RV followers would do a video instructing them not to do that and why... Oh, wait! That's why I'm here

    Thanks for the questions. I’m a newer driver and I believe you’ll get as many different answers as there are stars in the sky.

    Just tell your RV’ers to be courteous. We are just about the most heavily regulated industry in the nation and with that we have to balance a lot of stress from the carriers on down to people in cars who seem intent on getting run over. Even a little reduction in stress can change someone’s day.

    Oh yea, and they could make us a sandwich or a hotdog off the grill once in awhile....

    Exactly right. But when they do, I want them to be nice neighbors ☺️

    Good to know! Hot dogs? Check.
    Any advice on "road rules" for us to make your life easier?

    1) if you are ALLOWED to stay at a customers place. they DO NOT ALL allow that

    2) rest area, if YOU can find a spot, then the rest rooms are open

    3) Walmart, IF they do not boot your truck, or ticket you

    4) in the end, the truck stops have more amenities for us.

    the camper/RV'er are all self contained...they can park elsewhere

    this is correct, the A-Typical RV'er has NO driving restrictions to follow, and get a ticket for, if they "go over" their driving times.

    Well I'd say if the truck stop doesn't want the rv in a truck spot they can say so since it's their lot. Put up signs that say truck parking only then we can all get along. Also no mater where u park put the slide out over a curb. No taking two spots.
