5th Wheel RV in Truck Stops

Go ahead and park in a free spot, most all the trucks besides you didn’t spend one dime there.
Just don’t slide your slide outs out to take up 2 spots.

 

Yeah, sliding out you popouts will probably get you hate from some drivers. I'd suggest at the very least parking at one of the end spots next to a curb. Then you can use your pop outs on the curb side without issue

 

And for the love of baby Jesus, don't be like this guy

 

I agree, however it's as much about the inconvenience as it is about the safety for the rv'r. There has been drivers shot over being cut off at the fuel islands, or on the highways.

 

For several years my job has had me all over the western and mid-western U.S. with a 34' 5th wheel with a 10' utility trailer behind it and I have parked in many a truck stop with no problems. As mentioned above I take a spot by a curb away from the building when possible and park a closer to the truckers rather than steering wheel holders, as I don' want my stuff hit either. As with everything else a little respect goes a long way.

 

Think most drivers would be ok with your idea its a free world if your allowed to park there then why not? The only one's i'd assume might not like it, is if your taking up a spot at 2 am in the morning when some poor drivers 11 hours are up and he needs a spot to park.

 

I spend several night a week at truckstops with trailers. As a general rule I look for that spot that would be harder for a TT to get into but easier for my little load . Most big truck drivers seem to be ok with it . You can't please everybody all the time but consideration and respect goes a long way

 

The rvs gotta park somewhere too. Ive heard guys go off about it on the cb but i havent seen any signs saying cmv only. Now if we could just get the guys that are bobtail to quit taking up a whole spot, that would be something.
