Have to second Joe-FL's comments (#22) above. I respect TravelinTexans and Chance's opinions, but my experiences and opinions echo Joe-FL's. His comments were well said, so I won't repeat much of it.
We also only started using WMts and CBarrels after we traded our 5th wheel for a Class A with a generator. Our trips since average about 1/3 of our nights in those free parking lots or the driveways of friends and family. Not comfortable about staying in most rest areas or truck stops.
We always ask permission at WMt or CB. WMt usually gets about a hundred $ of our money for groceries and supplies when we stay in their lot. We always eat a meal at CB. We do put our slide out, since the bed folds, but wouldn't consider setting up with awning, grill or chairs, nor have we ever seen that.
