Flying J is a brand of truck stop. They are fairly common in the West and are popping up nationwide. Company started in Utah. They tend to be very RV friendly.

There are a couple in Edmonton & Nisku, Alberta that I know of. Their diesel is much cheaper, $ wise that is.

Satellite TV, gives you TV no matter where you stop, Rest Areas, Walmart, Home Depot, Boon-docking, etc... It is also in my opinion, better than most Cable or TV hookups, as you can get all that is available on Satellite. You dont even need a generator, as long as you have 12v TV.

TA Truck Stops are another place you can stop.
Flying J are great, everyone that Ive stayed in, has a dump station. Hose to wash out your sewer hose, and seperate place to fillup with fresh water. Many reccomend first tasting the water, because some locations have foul tasting water.

If you have trouble sleeping at the Flying J you just were not tired enough. (smile)

For us, the best thing about dry camping is no cable TV hookup...

I am guessing not to many parking lot urban campers travel the NE. I am in PA and if you start going up into the New England states it gets really hard to park in a shopping centers and forget a mall.I have been woke up in the middle of the night asking me to leave. Allot of the rest areas here in PA have no overnight parking signs posted.

I've not read anyone recommend Lowe's Depot for a few hours rest. I've been in 2-3 dozen coast to coast with no problem. Do that repair you forgot to do B4 you left the house. Also join the ELK'S hundred's of location nationwide, most have a bar and restaurant.
