- Where to Park Overnight. It is probably going to take you a bit of time adjusting to sleeping in your vehicle but you will eventually get a nightly routine that you will follow. If you are parking in a residential area make sure to park and get to sleep as quickly as possible so that you will not draw any unwanted attention to you and your vehicle.

- Change Locations Frequently. Try not to park in the same spot move your parking spot as you don't want people to notice you as they could make complaints about you parking there or worse they could try and confront you themselves.

- Stay Away from Areas that have High Crime Rate. Avoid parking in areas that are known to have high crime rates if you can. By parking in areas of high crime rate you are just increasing your chances of being confronted with criminal activities such as someone trying to break into your car while you are sleeping in it.

- Look for Local Campgrounds. Check to see if the area you are in has a campground with low fees. If you can find a local campground this will also give you access to showers and toilets and picnic tables to have your meals at, trails to go for walks on to get out of your car and out into the fresh air.

- Other Areas to Consider Parking. Areas such as highway rest stops, car pools, and truck stops are good spots to park overnight. Many truck stops will offer paid showers and convenience stores.

- Department Stores. There is also large department stores such as Walmart that allow overnight parking of RV's in their parking lots. The security guards may allow you to stay there in your car for at least one night.

- Local Business Parking Lots. Try asking a local business owner if you can park in their parking lot at night. Perhaps try approaching mechanic shop and point out to them that you can keep an eye on their customers cars making sure that no one tries to break into them.

- Local Churches & Community Centres. Try getting permission from a local church or community centre to park your car in their parking lot at night.

- Look for Overnight Street Parking. Try and locate streets where you are allowed to park on them overnight. Don't park your car in a spot where it is the only car on the block find a spot where there is other cars so that you won't stand out.

- Read Street Signs. Always make sure to read the street signs where you are parked in case you need to be gone by a certain time due to things such as street cleaners coming through that area.

- Local Police. Get some help from the local police by asking them where a safe and legal place would be for you to park for the night. They may even let you park right outside the police station to give you that added sense of protection.
