Rest Stops Safer than Walmart?
Not always, and we do assess each situation individually, but in general, we feel safer at rest stops than at Walmarts. In many places, Walmarts now have a significant homeless population or are where kids can give you a hassle. Rest stops also allow for the quickest on and off on those days full of driving (we try to have few of these).
Having said that, we're in a 24.1 Axis so only 25', don't need to push our slide out, and don't use our generator at night. We often park on the car side if there appears to be more space there and we are sure not to take up someone else's spot. If there is a staffed info building, we'll ask there and are often directed to the car side since we're small, it's quieter, and we leave the truck section for the big guys.
Usually, we go for Harvest Hosts or a state park, but for those unavoidable long-haul travel sequences, rest stops fit the bill.
