Also, unless you have a battery disconnect, go by regular like, start it up to keep the batteries charged. 5 days of vampire electronics could bring them down."}

Never just drop it without talking to a manager and I also went back every day to check on it.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Search for truck parking in your area. 🤷🏻‍♂️\n\nAlso ask customers of you can park there or drop trailer there during home time.\n\nAsk big box stores near home if you can park there. They may be willing if you aren't camping in your truck.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"ask store managers if they have room in the dock area if they won't let you stay in the parking lot. or if there's a parking lot worth a store that's been closed for a long time. may also be able to just park on the side of a street, depends on city ordinances where you live. I personally park in a trailer body repair shop in town after I asked the owner. you can also park your trailer in a reserved spot at a near ish truck stop after paying for the entire stay and put a glad hand lock on it,  then bt home","replyToPid":0}
