We have also parked in the OTR section at truck stops, but ONLY under certain conditions. If the overnight parking area is already quite full, we don't stop -- truckers need that space more. If there is ample room but still early, we'll try to get into a spot that would be much more difficult for the truckers to get. I'm always reminded of a line from a song, "Give Me 40 Acres And I'll Turn This Rig Around". If we get there at an hour when truckers are starting to wake up and leave, then I'll accept an open spot amongst the truckers...BUT, I always keep parking lights on!! Too easy to get lost in the shadows. And finally, if there's any chance possible, we'll take a spot that truckers can't even fit into.
Way I figure it, some of those truckers are likely going the same direction I am. Would much rather they see us trying to stay out of the way, rather than just taking up space because "it's allowed".
Also, we don't have an RV or camper. We were towing a 16' enclosed trailer. So, any sleeping to be done gets done in the truck seat. Our stays were never very long.

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
