Hi Gordon. When crossing the country after purchasing my Coach in Florida, I used the Big Rigs book and co-ordinated with my wife who was at home to arrange nightly reservations. Drove from 8 to 5 daily most of the time. It worked out for the most part.
I have also driven with Kevin Erion 24 hours a day, non stop. Thats fun for a night or two.
If I am driving alone during the day, I will pull over and nap for a half hour or so and move on.
I do stop at Truck stops on occasion but only if I'm stopping late at night.
Only stopped at rest stops once or twice and have been advised not to.
I do prefer the RV Parks because it gives me time to rest and relax.
