Where to park in town or city

[kdzu]

I drive a 26-ft Class C motorhome. I really like not having to tow a trailer, but of course the trade-off is that I don't have a vehicle for side trips into town or whatever. I have on occasion rented a car near my destination, but that's an added hassle and expense. I have found that in some towns and cities I can find a place to park my rig, but not always. Does anyone know of any kind of guide to assist with finding parking when visiting a particular town or city?

Many people use Google earth to see the layout and/or approach to a destination before committing. Just punch in an address.

Most every small town in America has a Walmart, most of them, excepting local ordinances in which case it's likely posted, don't care if you park out on the perimeter of the lot for one overnighter.

Yes, I've used this tactic myself, though it doesn't tell me if parking is likely to be available or even allowed. I suppose it's the best/only option.

I'm not actually thinking about overnight--I just need a place to park while exploring the city and seeing the sights. Many (most?) lots and garages can't accommodate even a relatively small RV like mine.

Leave your RV at the campground and take a bus or taxi into town?

Uber / Taxi / or E-Bike are also great options.
