So if you don't already know...RVing doesn't mean you have to pay to be in a campground, when you need a place to pull over for a night or 2. Heck, no! While doing our research last winter, we found all kinds of freebies for rvers looking for a night stop.
Did you know that Walmart allows RVs to park overnight in their lots? Mind you, not all of them but most.There are plenty that absolutely allow you to spend the night. It is suggested that you call ahead to get the okay though. Walmart's have been known to be Rver friendly.. And why not? We will be spending money in the store while parked for the night. There's an app just for Walmart locations. ALLSTAYS ONP Walmart, I believe the cost is 99 cents, but well worth the cost whatever it is.
The other places that allow you to park for free, with paid club memberships are the VFW, American Legion, or Moose Club. They allow members from all over to park in their parking lots. Water is usually not supplied. Make sure your water tank is full and you'll be okay. The freedom to do and go wherever you want.
And what if you don't have electricity? Hey no problem either.. That's what solar panels are for. Rvers don't HAVE to have an electric hookup. It's nice, but with the appropriate solar package, we can have lights, TV and computers. It's not an endless supply, but enough to keep most of us happy. Let's not forget, propane is used for heat, cooking, and the refrigerator(when not running on electricity). Rvers are pretty self sufficient. :)
Casinos are another great place to park with your RV for free. No need to call ahead since many have parking facilities just for RVs.
Thats hardly all the freebies.. Really. If this post intrigues you, then start researching on your own. There are hundreds of blogs, and tons of info on Rving.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. :D
