In the old days, highway travel centers were called truck stops. But after a few economic downturns, truck stop owners saw their revenues plummet. Time to attract new customers. And it was obvious who those customers might be: One look out their front windows revealed a steady stream of RVers parading by. So the truck stops began adding services for RVers and they changed their names from Truck Stops to Travel Centers or Travel Plazas. One of the first things many did was welcome RVers to stay the night for free. Some designated a separate parking area — a "quiet zone" away from the big rigs. A few even provided hookups. As the stream of RVs increased, some travel centers added dump stations. RVers began stopping for fuel or even to spend the night. Many shopped at the travel store or dined in the restaurant. The 2010 RVer's Friend (14th Annual Edition) lists every Travel Center in the U.S. and Canada about 6,600 all together — and what services each provides to RVers. With this handy guide, traveling RVers can determine if a travel center welcomes them for an overnight stay, if it has a dump station, if it sells propane, and if it provides Internet access or utility hookups. It also includes an Exit Order section. And, also very important, the book lists which RV mechanical services are provided. Published 2009.
