My wife was totally against staying in Wall marts or truck stops when we travel so we normally book RV sites in advance. All information they require is given such as trailer length..
During our last trip, we were going though New Brunswick...which has the absolutely roughest highways in the 5 provinces we were in...not a pleasant drive at all...it was about 7:30 at night....and we had to travel a bit of the highway..as we were about to turn into the site, some guy can running down the access road waving his arms..odd.
Apparently, he was the site owner and said we couldn't come in because we were too big ? We saw Class As in there and 5ths that must have taken a one ton (my class 5 has the same footprint) to pull but he was adamant. No lets try or I will call another RV site or any other site but just go...you know the saying "don't go away mad, just go away..."
We go back on the highway and it was getting dark. Not a happy DW with me. Then she spotted a Wall mart with a couple of Class As in it...off the highway and parked by them. The were "escaping NB" as well. Well, we had a great time. Fear gone and we stayed in 3 more over the trip. One site had..not sure..I stopped counting at 70 rigs..not including those in other big box stores around wall mart.
The smart wall marts catered to RV with take away food etc..and the DW picked up stuff at all..we ate and it made life so much easier...
ZERO fear in them...I should mention that we were the only rig in one..when we talked to the manager, they were very happy to have up...
With our 5th capacities, boon docking for a couple of days is no problem. We do need an inverter for my Cpap machine and maybe a small generator.
I should mention that the only comment I got about my truck at the other sites we book at - even at the provincial park with tight accesses - was what a cool truck....
