For anyone traveling full time around the U.S. it is getting harder and harder to find places to park overnight for free.

There was a time a few years ago when I was young when state parks were free to get in and only charged a few dollars to camp. Now state and national parks charge an entrance fee, then a camping few plus tax. Usually ends up being over $25 a night.
Almost all public lands east of the Mississippi are fenced and charge a camping fee. Yes, you can park "anywhere", but many areas are now posted with "no camping allowed in this area".
Even Walmart is shutting down overnight parking in many areas.
Don't even think about just pulling off the side of the road to sleep over night. You will get a knock on the window from some cop.
Most shopping centers now have "no overnight parking" signs everywhere.
Hey, I'm not a bum or trying to live off the public, but there is public land EVERYWHERE in America and it's all being closed off.
Everywhere the land is either private and posted, or public and posted, owned by the some government agency (military, state, feds, nasa, etc.).
The time will come when people are all wandering America and are told to "move along".
Wait and see...
