Suppose you're on the road and need to stop somewhere to stay the night. But, you need a place that has at least electric hookups available.

Where can you stay and plug in your RV for free? If there are no friends or family that you can plug into their outlet (make sure to have a "dogbone" electric adapter with you) where you're at, what can you do?

RV Life has posted an article on these questions.

RV camping gives you access to a wide variety of amenities, including electricity and running water. But unless you want to drain your battery or rely on solar power, you’ll probably want to stay somewhere with electrical hookups.

Unfortunately, most places that have RV hookups require a fee, but this isn’t always the case. So you’re probably wondering: Where can I plug in my RV for free?

Believe it or not, there are some free RV parks that provide complimentary hookups. In most cases, this only includes electricity and not water or sewage. But beggars can’t be choosers!

In most cases, you’ll need to pay to plug in your RV, but if you do some research ahead of time, you may be able to locate a few places that will help you out for a night or two.
