Overnight hospital parking in a bus/RV

[guest901464]

Hello everyone!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I plan to start traveling next year but I wanted to get some input on my plan before I get too far into it. I plan on buying and converting a mini school bus into an RV to travel around in. It would have everything a typical RV would have minus a shower. My thinking was that I could shower at the hospital before or after my shift, park the bus in the way back of the hospital parking lot, do my three shifts, then pack up and explore for however many days I have off. I was wondering if it is a realistic idea to be able to park/stay at hospital parking lots overnight in between my shifts and use the hospital to shower at? On my off days I would park elsewhere.

I understand that it may very hospital by hospital but I was hoping to get an overall idea if this is doable. I don't plan on traveling to bigger cities. I would like to stick to smaller, more rural hospitals in the west (CO, UT, ID, MT, WA, OR, AZ.) Since I enjoy outdoor activities I figured these more rural hospitals would put me closer to the outdoors. Also, if I couldn't park in the hospital lot overnight, these more rural hospitals have a better chance of having a campground or public land nearby.

Thanks for your input!

(Just an FYI- the bus I would get is about 23' long. Big, but wouldn't take up THAT much room if parked in the back of a lot. Also, there's no being stealthy in this thing. It would be obvious someone is living it in.)
