If you try it be sure to fill up first.
Definitely will fill it up every night. The van is only $15 a day after all fees etc.

If you must I believe circus circus/walmart allows this most other places will get you a couple hundred dollar fine if caught by the cops
Dead battery is what I was afraid. What if I leave it in neutral and reach over to hit the accelerator a few times during the 5hrs? Would that help keep it from losing a charge?
And I looked into all hotels/extended stay, way out of my budget. The first nights I am here are 9/16 and 9/17. Gold Coast for those nights alone would be over $400.
Cheapest places to stay seem to be around $45/night. Dumps like Harbor Island or Siegel Suites. I'd have to rent a car anyways to get around so might as well just save that money.
So if AC is not an option in the van, maybe there is somewhere I can camp for free at night? I could buy a tent from Target or something.
How uncomfortable would it be in a garage this time of year with no AC?

I am an AP chasing a rare opportunity. Separate bankroll and liferoll. Really need to pinch pennies on this trip to maximize what I have available to risk.
