Here is another tip to save some coin. Many Walmart’s will allow campers for Couple of nights. Some Walmart’s don’t so ask before hand. If they don’t 9 times out of 10 they will tell you the ones close by that do allow people to stay over night in the Parking lot. Buy a few things be courtesy and you have safe place to stay for a couple of nights. I got that tip from a good friend that has been on three round the county trips. From Florida to Maine to Great Lakes then Florida to the South west and then another Trip to the North West. Lots of great things to see on your way to the west coast.
