cars. (Casinos in crowded, urban areas do not have space to accommodate RVs. Get permission before you park.) 5) Don’t abuse the property owner’s hospitality. A parking lot is not a campground. If there’s enough space, it’s okay to open a slideout, but restrict your activity to the inside of your vehicle. 6) Do not leave your RV unattended overnight or for any extended period of time. This may seem like simple, common sense advice, but you’d be surprised at how many folks park their expensive units in a parking lot and then go off to visit friends for a few days. If you are foolish enough to do this, don’t be surprised upon your return to find your unattended vehicle has been towed away. Boondocking at a casino is convenient. Casinos are located all over the country, many within a mile or two of an inter-

state exit. RV- friendly casinos are listed in the popular guide, Casino Camping from Roundabout Publications. Blacktop boondocking at a casino is comfortable. You have your home with you, so you can either walk or take the shuttle bus to and from the casino. You can play shorter, more relaxing gaming sessions with breaks in between. For couples, when one wants to play cards or slots and the other doesn’t, there’s no problem. And then there’s the obvious benefit: Blacktop boondocking at RV-friendly casinos is free.
