How to Travel & Sleep in Your Car the Legal Way
There are some legalities you must know first
So you are all packed and ready to hit the road in your temporary home. It is going to be a little nerve-wracking during the first night in your new 9’x5’ home.
If you’re like me, you are most likely going to drive around for at least half an hour looking for the most comfortable, “safest” place to park and set up camp.
The truth is, you will never find a place that is 100% safe when car camping. There, simply, aren’t those kinds of guarantees with this kind of traveling.
But if you let the one-off horror stories overshadow all the safe experiences living out of a car, you will never feel comfortable. The good outweighs the bad in this situation.
So, where can you park that will make you feel comfortable?
Truth be told, you’re likely not to run into danger. My concern is a knock on the window from the police rather than a crazy serial killer.
Despite what Hollywood movies say, you can’t just sleep overnight wherever you want in America. So, if you plan to park it on the beach for a few weeks, good luck.
