The stickers started with a couple from the Outer Banks and grew when we took our first long trip. Not every park or destination, but if I see one I like, it gets added.
We were at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Our trip kept crossing paths with Teddy, Custer, and Lewis & Clark as will be evident in upcoming posts. We weren't going to camp, so we stopped in the visitor's center, and planned a ride into the park to see the bison. There were lots of them, and we took our pictures out of the truck windows.
The visitor's center had a lot of souvenirs. T-shirts, hoodies, hats, post cards, books and stickers.
Wife - "Look, honey, I like this sticker."
Husband - "You are not going to start putting g** d*** stickers on our camper."
Okay, then. I managed not to laugh out loud. Made my purchases and went back to the truck. I was cleaning the dust off a spot and placing the sticker when the couple went by.
They were parked behind us in a beautiful class A rig. The sunlight glinted off the chrome. The paint glowed under the wax. Sort of like this, only nicer.
I should have walked back and told the guy that I understood.

I think you did the trip the better way, the simpler way. Those giant diesel rigs may be very accommodating, but I am not sure that I would want to wrestle that bus into a parking spot. I imagine it towed a vehicle behind it to boot.
And stickers can be great conversation starters when someone shares the experience they had at that location.
I think you can pay over a million bucks for those behemoths, and more power to the people who can afford it and enjoy it.
Libertyman, I *like* my Beaver Motor Coach (35', 1985!), but I refuse to deface it with stickers. It was hard enough to remove all the previous owner's stickers when I repainted it.
i'da snuck round back n plastered the biggest sticker they had on his rig. i get it, but no need to be an a hole about it so...
I was going to ask about TR NP. Nice campground there and the the backroads are nice. Fall is spectacular.
You need to get some stickers from the Chicken Ranch if you want to start conversations!
