    Walmart and Cracker Barrel have been godsends when roadtripping and you need a rest.

    I notice the further away from the city, the Walmart allow overnight parking. But its a good idea to call ahead of time. I slept at my first Walmart at Billings Montana. Once i saw other Rvers there. I was like this can work.

    I agree with this, that the farther you get from the city they don't really care! Ooo I still have to make it out to Billings

    Awesome! Quick thought. What if the panel you have on a hinge was reconfigured to slide forward without hinging upward toward the mattress? You could make 2 comfortable loops of webbing to pull the panel straight forward into place. 🤔

    I'm making some adjustments to the build in the next couple videos! Good idea. I'll be changing the hinge concept for sure

    At least you have these places, and blm land etc , if i called i would be very clear that i am just travelling through and will both use the shop and that i never ever leave any mess, one thing i did notice straight away is your curtains, it says to a guy thats a girl in there ,because almost always a guy won't have curtains like that ie girly.
