Tips on Boondocking to Sell My RV Fast: Where to Park
January 15, 2010 12:00 am
I’ve decided that the best way to sell my RV fast so I can buy a new one and resume my boondocking life is to spread the message about the joys of boondocking to prospective buyers. This also means giving some general tips, and a big one is where to park.
Legal Parking Areas
Public lands are an important resource for boondockers. A rule of thumb is that if you can access it with your RV and get at least 100 yards from the highway, its okay to camp there. You mainly need to make sure that you’ll be able to get out as easily as you got in and that the surface will support your rig, and also consider how the terrain could be changed if it decided to rain. Getting stuck in a swamp is no fun.
Other good places include snowpark parking areas and fishing access sites. You want to be sure and park out of the way, where you won’t be blocking anybody else’s access. Ask about “primitive camping” areas in national parks and recreation areas, and ask other RVers about good places in their home areas.
Major highway rest areas, truck stops, and most Wal-Mart parking lots provide good overnight stops for boondockers. In rest stops park with the trucks. In all of these areas, don’t park behind buildings, and don’t get out your grill or lawn chairs or similar accessories; you want to remain self-contained as much as possible. Typically you want to keep your slides in—so when you buy an RV, make sure you get one that’s easy to use even when the slides aren’t extended (like mine!).
