sandsys Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 six to eight hours is sufficient to recharge your sleep battery and back on the road. Yours maybe but not mine. If I only stopped that long I'd still be a drowsy driver. It takes me a couple hours to wind down from driving then I do best if I sleep nine hours and I need food and caffeine before hitting the road again so I'm usually there for at least a 12 hour stop. I don't stop a second night at the same store but I stay as long as I need to do so on my one night stop. No one has ever complained to me about the length of my stay. Linda Sand Correction: I did stay two nights at one Walmart. I drove in shortly before bedtime. The next day I had three sets of visitors--two of them scheduled meets--then I stayed a second night with my daughter's truck parked nearby. It's good I was still there the next morning when she locked herself out of the truck and needed a place to wait for the locksmith.

LarryN Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Does anyone know if this is allowed? Have any of you done it? When I see the term "boondocking" in the same sentence as parking at some asphalt parking lot, the hair on the back of my neck stands out. But, alas, I have come to grips with the fact that I am beating a dead horse. Like the noun "party" is now a verb......I just give up . Hopefully, someday, after the apocalypse, the survivors can take back the traditional usage of terms like this. Until the apocalypse, however, I will happily continue to PARK at a parking lot, and "dry camp at a beautiful remote location" (boondock). 1977 GMC Eleganza II ARS WBOJOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
