Great Job on this Video!

FROM THIS TRUCKER, THANKS FOR NOT BLOCKING THE TRUCKSTOP SPOTS. IT'S GETTING HARDER FOR US TO PARK, WHEN IT'S MANDATORY. 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️💞💞💞
Thank you for all your hard work.
I can actualy understand why Walmart has turned sour to overnight RV'ers. Howerver it is not really caused by us Nomad RV'ers, but from homelessness.
Last summer in Flagstaff, AZ I saw first hand where rigs were there for weeks on end without moving and the parking lots were trashed. I can sympathize with anyone homeless and struggling to get back on their feet. But there is no reason whatsoever to be slovenly.
It's not always the homeless😒
Having been out there for 2 - 3 years in my vehicle, not an RV - I got to see many RVers in their fancy digs throwing trash outside of their RV.
Honest to God, at one Wal mart, there was one guy - straight out of a Christmas Vacation movie - LITERALLY in his open bathrobe & underwear walking around in the middle of the night!
It ticked the rest of the "homeless" living out of their vehicles to see this - it jeopardized parking for the rest of us.
After cleaning up after him and other RVers, we reported him & them & they were blocked from parking in Wal-Mart's parking area. Yeah, we had a designated "watcher" who kept an eye out for us while we slept & he slept in the daytime.
Oh, the bathrooms at Wal-Mart - if they are filthy when they first open at 6 or 7 am, the trashed bathrooms are from the employees themselves - JSYK😒
In Florida our Walmarts are still RV friendly.
The Supercenter near me officially ended overnight parking around 5 years ago. Not because of RVs, the "homeless" or others sleeping in small vehicles. They ended it because of over the road truck drivers. Too many of them in the very large lot interfering with access and they kept knocking over light poles. Many of those drivers just do whatever they want with no regard for anyone else. To this day I see it all the time. Numerous locations near me have signs saying "absolutely no truck parking at any time" yet you see trucks parked right next to those signs. Not even going to get into their personal behavior except to say disgusting.
In the 1990s, I traveled in a small camper van, I found hospital parking lots to be an excellent option (but I was fairly "stealthy" about it). They're well lit, you've got access to clean toilets, and breakfast in the cafeteria the next morning. And the best part was, on every highway, there are very convenient signs showing the route to the nearest hospital. In the days before the internet, seeing a big blue sign with a white H on it was always a welcome sight late at night.
I absolutely agree!
Thank you for the tip ❤
Some hospitals are not suitable anymore because their lots are now parking structures, so people may have to find out which ones are ok for overnight stay
I been doing this since 1981. The reason things are changing is do to people not having respect.
You both are like happiness on an slice of apple pie 💝
Love it Mz. Lady, wow that’s some tasty happiness!!
Zactly!
Yes! I love watching them because they are so cute together!
That is saying alot!!!
I agree … they are a very cute couple ❤️
My bonus tip ... Don't be afraid to ask anywhere you see a nice big parking lot, you will be surprised by how many will say OK
I always do my best to be extra polite when permitted to overnight somewhere. It’s the people who leave garbage around, disturb others, etc. that ruin it for everyone. If we don’t want people to hate us and put a stop to further places, we have to be on our best behavior.
Thanks for bringing up the truckers needs. With so little parking available in rest areas and truck stops it’s getting real hard for us to get parked for our required breaks . We don’t have sites like harvest hosts to use . If you plan your trip well you could utilize these hosts and have an enjoyable stay and leave some parking out there that is designated for us trucks
My favorite is Loves, Pilot or rest areas. I always buy a shower or do my laundry when I stay at loves or pilot. That seems to be appreciated by the staff. I never park in areas designated for truckers.
Sometimes it is possible to borrow a parking space at a small store just by going in and asking, I wotked at a small store (not camping related at all) and we had an traveling salesman asking us if he could park his RV overnight in our lot.
We even had an outlet for him to plug into for charging (small fuse so not for heating or bigger loads) and the nights he stayed there, the local hooligans wasn't there, so it was a win/win situation.
i'm a travel nurse so i do a lot of road miles and i've noticed that unfortunately, some vehicle dwellers don't like to play by the rules and especially at Walmarts, i've seen a lot of trash and containers containing human waste lying around the parking lot and when i speak with the staff about it, they tell me it's the rv/van dwellers and this is why so many Walmart's are prohibiting overnight camping. :( the same can be said for some parks.
I don't blame them. Darn bad apples that ruin it for the rest of us who are grateful for the free/cheap spaces. Thank you for all you do - nurses are true heroes!
I've been living in my car and have been parking at this Walmart in Cerritos for a few months now. Well recently they have been kicking folks out and calling the police. And I believe it's because of this family who literally camps out and leaves so much mess around her area. I hate to say it but it's folks like her that ruins it for the rest of us
Kudos!!! You two are insanely awesome, respectful, and appreciative. A model for all to follow to keep this lifestyle alive for years to come.
Great video! Many Camping World locations allow overnight parking too. Some even have electric and/or dump stations available. Hipcamp is another one we’ve used. Low cost and no membership fees. I really enjoyed your video!
You two are the cutest .... thanks for being so kind and considerate of the patrons and businesses and encouraging it .... it's heart warming
New to your channel!
How refreshing you guys are.
I love how you are always stressing to “be respectful” and considerate.
We travel with a wheelchair person, and sometimes need a quick overnight spot!
Looking forward to more of your videos!
Safe travels.
I’ve cross country road-tripped several times with my daughter and our 2 doggos. we have stay at Love’s, Flying J, and rest stops. We’ve done this with our SUV. I’d love an RV, an Air Stream in particular when I can afford one.
Thanks for these great tips! As far as membership programs, we discovered Passport America last year. We are full timers with a 43ft fifth wheel so it can challenging to find parking. When we are traveling, we try to find parks through them, which saves us 50% off of the park's daily rate. We usually pay $20-$30/night and gives us full hookups. This has saved us a lot of money over the past 9 months which has paid for the membership.
A lot of people don’t have big RVs, they’re camping in their cars. We like to drive in our car and bring our tent. A lot of these wouldn’t let us in. We can’t afford an RV. I would ask people to make sure they’ll let you in before you dive far. It never occuref to us we would be rejected. They told us they reject numerous people every day for hoping to car camp.
It’s a shame that people need to be told to be respectful. But it is the country we live in. Thanks for a great video!! I’m hoping to get out there and see the sights!
I watch this entire clip knowing I will never be traveling this way 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤. I just don’t enjoy driving, but you guys make it look so entertaining
I would love to take a cruise but my wife won't let me. I am so happy that you two are learning and having fun. You two have fun, eat well and always meet new people. Please keep your info coming.😊
It can’t be emphasized enough to be respectful of the lots and regular shopping customers. A local Walmart was allowing RVs for some time. Even one person was towing a huge boat and eventually would leave the boat there alone while his rig disappeared for days on end. But in time this summer the lot drew in more campers. Several of them were hanging out outside the vehicular all the time and setting up a bunch of lawn chairs. Walmart had to then crack down and all the RVers had to go. Don’t put them in that position and also ruin it for yourself and everyone else.
Our local Cabelas is right off the highway on my way home, so I'd visit their dump station on my way back from every RV trip... until they removed it. I'd occasionally see over-nighters there, but they've stopped that too. I bought my Champion inverter generator somewhere else because they're not RV friendly anymore.
That casual picture of the trailer crashed into the Planet Fitness lol 🤣🤣🤣
my husband and I are both retired but still prefer to drive and your information has made the idea of traveling cross country to see our kids much easier to plan out for rest breaks we will want along the way, We have a very small camper pulled by an suv .not as compact as a van but close enough. Thank you for the information.
never seen y'all before but y'all seem to be nice folks. Thank you for posting these helpful videos. My wife and i work but cant afford a house so, Camping has become our new way of life and it's really not so bad. Again, Thank You for the posting ! 🎉
Yes, the problem at Walmart we have with RVs. Yes I stay at them sometimes too but there is people coming over with RVs towed or trash out take dumps on the parking lot and crank up the generators and put their slides out and you wonder why we are getting kicked out because of people like that.
This was a great list! There were quite a few I have not heard about before and I have been following quite a few seasoned FT RV veterans. Thanks for sharing your experiences and your info. Love following you guys!
You live on the road get rewards cards 50 gallon gas= free shower for you and your codriver. I would swipe my brother card and he never drove. I wanted all the shower I could get. Doesn't do me much good today, I travel I get fuel from sam's club to stay stocked and fuel is very affordable.
Just LOVE you guys! We've been Rv'r for decades, but I always learn something new from you - Thanks!
Thanks so much Maribeth, glad you learned something new!!
I've never been camping and never intend to go camping 😂 but I love watching you guys. You are both just so cool....much love from Cape Town, South Africa ❤️
This information has been so extra-helpful. Thank you two for the always great, fun, entertaining, and informative videos of your adventures, trials, tribulations, and your great attitudes and fun sense of humor! I used to have a VW Westfalia camper van (in "cherry" condition!) that was the love of my life, and I camped anywhere and everywhere up in the mountains. Sadly I had to sell it years ago, but you guys are reminding me of the fun adventures that I miss so much! I want an EKKO so badly, thanks to you two, that I can hardly sit still, trying to figure out how to afford one. Thank you for your fun videos, and for the great information in this one! You two are inspiring!
If you are traveling through the Midwest late at night, you can stay at grain elevators after the work day is over and leave before the work day starts. Of course, no amenities but when we couldn't find an RV park it worked for us. A plus, it was very quiet.
Thanks for the great tip. Never thought about staying at grain elevators!
Hi Tanya and Dave. As a child my parents use to take us kids camping as soon as school was out for the summer. I have the best memories when we went camping. I haven't been in years. The last time musta been 25-30 years ago. Nothing like finding a place that you really love. I remember this one place called Strawberry Park that had horseback riding, pools, club house, and nightly entertainment. I remember at night on the weekends they had bands. We had a huge camper that slept 8 or 9. I don't think there was bathroom but it had a very functional kitchen. We traveled all up and down the eastern coast. This was very educational. Thank you Dave and Tanya for sharing
I personally do not like camping of any type, that being said, I absolutely love y'all! Your videos are great and I thoroughly enjoy all the amazing places you've shared with all of us! Thank you. God bless and keep y'all safe always.
I love when British people like to pretend they’re southern in comments.
@@rs5570 I love that you believe I'm British because in all actuality I've lived most of my life within the borders of Missouri and Arkansas. Sorry to spoil 😅 your attempt at guessing where I'm from by reading 📚 and trying to analyze my usage of the English Language. Better luck with your next attempt and Bless your heart ❤ for trying.
@@rebeccagraysmith3440 "Bless your heart" LOL! I know southern... LOL... ;)
I love Cracker Barrel. I have parked there at least 4 times. I talked to manager they were very friendly.
Thanks Vicki for sharing, great to hear! We are Cracker Barrel fans too!!
Love Dave’s ponytail sticking out the back of his hat! So cute!!!
I am looking forward to RV life. Or spending my weekend off from my Monday to Friday job so I can hear the birds under the morning sun. For a city person like myself I love the outdoor life but don't have much chances to do it. But I often spent nights in my four door seden in parking lots of shopping malls or I even sleeping in the lot during day hours under the tree and when I was passing by the area, and for many times the lot called in the cops to check on my ID and to check if I was smoking, drinking or on drugs or all of the above. When you talk to the cops, be respectful and the cops will let you stay. After I spent a few days or nights on this same location on my weekend trips away from my living area the lot security recognized it is me again and they don't bother with me anymore. The mall parking lot don't like people staying there for people trashed the lot with garbage before they leave. So keep your parking space clean for the next person. One of these days I will try the state parks and the state forrests with my SUV, no not a RV. Thats about the story of my outdoor life. Be well and be safe.
Thank you for recognizing us truckers! Love your content
You’re so welcome Truckin Lady! Thank you!!

Aloha Dave & Tanya - after watching a few of your videos I just had to subscribe. You both are an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your adventures & safe travels ❤
Thanks 😊 loves for showing us the best places to stay when you're on a budget. I love your vlogs 💖 yall have too much fun, and it's 😍 cute.
I love your advise about overnight parking. There were so many suggestions for overnight parking that I didn't know about.
Thank you for these tips. I am going full-time soon. I am also new to this lifestyle. This video answers my prayers.
You are so welcome Joyce! When do you plan to begin RV life full time?
@LetsTurnItUpWorld within the next month. Unfortunately, Marge sprung a leak, and the wrong dude kept it for months without repairing it. Fortunately, she is now with the right dude and is being repaired. The other fortunate and unfortunate parts are that I am home but I had to delay the sale of my house 😪. Everything according to the Creator, in His time! I am okay and should be on my way soon.
Glad you will be on the road soon!
Campgrounds ❤️😎 HomeDepo planet fitness,overlooks and Rest Areas are my favs
Beautiful couple!!! Thanks for sharing this great information
FYI: Ripley, WV Walmart doesn't care as of this date if you stop overnight. No signs has been posted that you can't either.
enjoyed watching you guys, you did your homework on possible Camping for overnight parking, you gave good advice on checking ahead of time if possible, checking to make sure it’s ok for you to overnight parking or overnight camping, try not to pull out your ironing or sitting out lawn chairs etc. thanks for sharing gave you guys a big thumbs up.
This was freaking AWESOME!!!!!
Great tips, you two are awesome. Safe travels.
Thanks to you guys I have double checked where I was staying with my team we are praise dance team we normally take a trip every year and it’s normally a campground or you know an RV park somewhere where they have a lot of activities and stuff like that so thankfully I was able to drive to the individual KOA that I was planning on taking the girls to and believe me it was DOA thank God I listen to you guys and checked it out first❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So much information thanks guys

Hi Tanya and Dave thanks for sharing grate information to know stay blessed
Our pleasure Sonia! Thanks so much!!
Love your channel!
I wanted to add a couple more spots that are available for us Active Military, Retired Military, and disabled veterans.
1. VA Medical Centers - Most of the larger VAMCs have RV parking as there are a lot of us disabled vets out there RVing and we like to snow bird. The campuses are usually really big as well. For example, VAMC Chillicothe Ohio is built on an old Army base. They have a swim center, an 8 hole golf course, a full service bank, a huge vet store, a great cafe, and you can go and get all your meds or appointments done! I can attest that VAMC Chillicothe is my favorite VA facility I've ever been to. The new VAMC in Northern Las Vegas by Nellis AFB is phenomenal too but, the parking situation isn't as conducive to larger rigs. I wouldn't take much bigger than a 30' motorhome. You'd have a lot of maneuverability issues with towables; unless they're tiny.
2. Military bases are great. For us veterans they give us that piece of mind. Ive been able to stay a night at the Exchanges and the restaurant parking lots. I would also note many bases have the Fam Camps as well but, they aren't free. However, they almost always have cheap if not free overflow parking.
Oh yeah, VAMC Chillicothe has their own stadium. You might be able to catch a locals game while you're there!
Thanks for sharing these great RV overnighter tips, very helpful! And also, thank you so much for your service.
@llspragulus; Are the bases free for ALL Veterans? A retiree recently told me it's only for retired and disabled veterans. I'm hoping that's incorrect as I am neither but did serve for 13 years. TIA and happy trails.
@@brookenigh Unfortunately, that's a negative on both parts. Fam camps aren't free and I apologize if I made it seem so. They're pretty standard at 25/night with a mandatory 6 month max stay. As for using them, it's only for those with base access and access to MWR. That means essentially AD, retirees, and disabled vets with a VHIC. Sorry about that.
@@llspragulus No worries and thanks for the clarification! :)
Love y’all as a couple.
Hello hope your enjoying your day. Thanks for all the info was not aware of all these places you could stay. Once again Thanks enjoy your journey on the road life is good
The Alpaca farm would be fun I knit, crochet, and spin yarn. I’d get into serious trouble if they sell their fibers as yarn or fiber for spinning or even dying fibers for pretty yarns and fibers to spin.
I 've used a few of the places you mentioned while touring on a motorcycle.
We really appreciate this information 😁 thank you
You’re so welcome, thanks!
Hey there! New sub here. Looking forward to following along! Two of our favorites are rest areas and Cabela's/BassPro! Of course, these are just an overnight, when we are on a long trip and just need one night to sleep.
Moose lodges, American Leigon and VFW post.
I use to love staying at Red Rock Canyon State Park about 25 miles of the town of Mojave, CA near Cantil. A site cost is $25 per night still but there is no water or electric hookups. The park recommends you bring in your own firewood, food, and water. Overnight parking in the day-use lot is not permitted. There are "pit toliets." FYI: Red Rock SP is Closed Feb-June: For protection of raptor breeding areas, area is closed annually February through June to ALL entry including hiking, biking, horses, and OHV.
Terrific tips! I will try some of these spots this spring
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed them!
Thank you
Great content and very helpful! Didn't know Loves was doing that. Hope to try that out this camping season.
Glad it was helpful! Yes, it’s worth trying Loves out!
Jal, NM
Another spot that is great is Cabelas and ProBass....as a truck driver I have stayed there overnight as well, and had fun looking around the store...and of course buy things.
"Wide open spaces..." 🎵 I love the pop culture references.
Wall Drug in sd is cool! I have been there many, many, many times. But I have never camped there.
Nice, and informative! You both narrate great. Keeps my interest! Sadly the volume control curse strikes again - The speech is at volume 3 and the music at volume 8. Trying not to disturb my neighbors, so I miss a lot of the narrative. (Most all of You Tube is like this!)
The Walmarts in my area not only do not prohibit overnighters, they don't even prohibit "squatters." In a small city just 40 minutes from where I live, their Walmart Supercenter is beset with homeless campers living around back in broken down rv's. Their front outer parking lot is festooned with overnighters for whom the night is measured in weeks.
About Walmart issue, people needs to respect the others, no matter you are poor or rich, this is the. Basic to respect others! That will make world much more peaceful and harmonious!
Great vid. Hitting the road in May for 6 months. Appreciate the suggestion. Might recommend leveling the sound in the final edit. Music in between commentary is much, much louder. Uncomfortably so. Hope that helps.
Hey Tanya, I'm loving your rose quartz pendant!! I have seen you wear several other lovely pendants. I am a fan of rose quartz and amethyst. I'm not an RVer but love your videos.
Oh thank you! I too am a huge fan of stone pendants that have good energy. So glad you like them. Also glad you enjoy the videos and joining us on our adventures. We do appreciate it! 🙏🏾🙏🏻
If you know somebody or a friend of a friend sort of thing, they sometimes have a driveway or back yard for an overnighter.
Traveling,in a small school bus...I park at Daycare places....Salvation Army...Goodwill
Awesome ideas to park. Since I'm kinda stationary at the moment, I stay in the parking lot of where I'm working. On weekend trips I usually stay in State parks bc I have a disabled pass from SC and I stay free. I'll check out some of the apps yall mentioned. Tfs
Thanks, glad you found our video helpful! We really enjoy staying at State parks as well!
This is very good advice 👏. If you happen to run into a small town that has a church, they will allow you to park in the lot. I used to drive cable trucks all over the country and they were very kind.
Thanks Karla for the great tip regarding parking overnight at churches!
