Overnighting on Cross Country
Just curious what most of you do when making tracks across country - stay in a campground with hookups, or pull in a rest area or retail area for free?
Seems like the campground could give you more piece of mind, security and quiet, whereas just pulling over would be more convenient.
Bringing my bus home from LA to Austin this week and will need to rest somewhere.
Mostly Roadside Park O/N Stops
Gordon, congratulations on your beautiful new bus.
I know, you may be on the actual road coming home but I'll bet you will be flying high!
As to your question about staying overnight roadside or campgrounds: Peg and I rarely stay in a campground till we get to our destination. We prefer the short overnight stops at the rest areas. Just pull in, lock her down, and call it a night till the morning, where you give the bus a once over on the outside, check the tires, towbar and head out.
Lots of the roadside parks these days have 24 hour security, and we feel pretty safe inside the bus anyway. So we don't go into a campground till we get to where we are going to stay for a couple of days.
Enjoy the journey and anxious to see your new bus soon. Come to La Hacienda for July 4th, I think there will be several of us up there for that weekend?
