OK! Can we get a consensus amongst the netters to see if we should carry
this to its final conclusion and see who is telling the truth? Could
someone in Illinois find out if there really is such a law, and post it so
we can all read it. Why are truckers allowed to sleep over night in a
parking lot, but RVers are not? Do I see a little economic muscle acting
here by the trucker associations? Is it time to flex the collective muscle
of the net to get to the bottom of this since it effects all of us as both
GMCers and RV owners? Lets find out the truth before we go any further and
than if there really is such a law, lets see if we can change it.
