I cannot tell you how many road miles and square miles there are in the U.S. alone. But with a class A, unless it a freight train size, you can find places with the alternative one night stays like Harvest Host and Boondockers Welcome between the long stops across this country.
And FWIW some of the Harvest Host locations are now offering power and electric, with dumpsites at a lot of truck stops and rest areas out in the western regions of the country.
Cabelas out west offer dumps and water with a free nights stay. Some even have horse stables with some dog kennels on site to allow your furry animals a break from being inside the rv. We traveled during the peak of all the shut downs and out west and barely had any problems with a place to hang our hats. By all means resorts claim to be full all the time. But most are way too pricey for what we want to spend, and require no real services that many offer except for maybe laundry facilities.
And state parks, with some restrictions in size is a bit of a hassle with third party booking agencies, which makes it a real hassle in my opinion to get open sites on short notice that may actually be open because you are not really talking to a "man of the scene" human being. But its doable. Of course this is all dependent on if you are willing to shell out bunches of money for just the fuel costs thats increasing everyday will no real break in sight. YMMV
