I generally try to look at truck stops via Google Maps ahead of time. About a third of them seem to have a large gravel overflow lot out back that almost never fills up. Some of them also have some dedicated RV spots.
Recommendations for remote temp montiroing via celluar connection?

If you're comfortable with DIY, you can get a Raspberry Pi Zero W and hook a DS18B20 temperature sensor to it. I haven't set up alerts yet, but I have a little script that polls the temperature sensor every minute and submits the data to Amazon Cloudwatch, which then feeds a free Grafana dashboard. Not exactly plug'n'play (some soldering and scripting involved), but minimal power draw (<1W), about $45 total, and pretty flexible. I'll probably swap out the temp sensor for a combined temp+humidity sensor, or maybe just add it on so one watches the battery temperatures or something.
