My wife and I have stopped in at Flying J travel plazas on many occasions in the year we have owned our TM and have come to appreciate their RV friendly ways. We have even slept in the TV a few nights after a long days drive. This past weekend we stopped into the Flying J in Austinburg, Ohio and were greeted by a large sign that said (kind of) "Ohio State law prohibits overnight camping in an RV on Flying J property". I asked the cashier what that meant and she said you could not park in a Flying J overnight. When I asked if we could sleep for a few hours, she said yes, but you could not stay overnight. When I asked how they know, she just shrugged. I asked why this was being implemented and she said that RV's are meant for campgrounds, and a Flying J is not a campground.
Are there any Ohio members who know what's going on with the Flying J's in Ohio? Is this some new law, or are they cracking down on an old law? I personally like the Flying J's because they are usually right on the highway. I would not search for a campground off the highway for a couple of hours sleep. Anybody know what's up?
