For our third night in the Noovo Plus van, we stayed at Golden Shore RV Resort in Long Beach. So our first night was a Harvest Host (no hookups), our second night was a state park (no hookups), and our third night was a traditional RV park (with full hookups). We did this both to experience different kinds of camping in the van, and to end at a place where we could empty the toilet’s cassette and the gray tank, as required by the rental.

For our first night in the Noovo Plus van, we stayed at Stanger Vineyards in Paso Robles. This stay was thanks to the Harvest Hosts service, where people can stay for free (typically with no hookups, though some places have them).

We drove our rental Noovo Plus from Noovo’s Los Angeles Boutique north out of LA, along I-5, ending up at Stanger Vineyards for the night. This post is about the drive… which ended up taking an hour longer than expected.
