I do, as well, although after about three-nights worth, I am ready to find a shower and regular bed for a few nights before I do it again.
I think the point asked in the original post was mainly where does one stop for the night if there is no public-land option, motel, or other similar accommodation near where he is going to hunt? Is pulling over at a wide spot on a road a good solution? Maybe in some places that is a reasonable idea. In others, I suspect not so much. I know that, in unfamiliar territory, I would be sleeping very "lightly" with some sort of weapon handy...and even then, I would be uneasy about the situation.
I mentioned the Walmart solution, partially in jest, but also because I have seen that mentioned more than once by people in the same situation. I know the Walmart's around here (or at least some of them) allow travelers to stay in their parking lots in that I have seen, on multiple occasions, pretty big RV rigs set up here that were obviously staying overnight. Is that safer than pulling off the road somewhere? I couldn't say, but I would weigh the odds based on where I might be traveling.
Bottom line for me is that, when traveling, I always have some sort of tentative plan as to how far I am going to get before stopping for the night...or where I will be staying if the place I am hunting has no accommodations of any sort. I know, for me, I would rather get up earlier and drive a bit further rather than feel anxious about sleeping in an unfamiliar setting.
