> When we travel cross country with our RV, we use KOAs for overnights. There are still quite a few of them. We’ve seen people park overnight in their car while there. I see the attraction of having restrooms and a safe place to park, but their cheapest rates are 20-25 bucks a night. Better than a motel, I guess.

Cool, glad to hear they’re still around. I wonder if maybe they’re making a comeback with the RV craze. At any rate, back when I did this (mid 80s), they didn’t charge if you slept in your car in the parking lot. That may have changed.
