My "just in case" alternative is a tube tent. It is light and compact and with a pad/sleeping bag not too much to carry when I mostly expect to find indoor lodging, but want flexibility to go without pinning myself down with reservations. Shown here in Onida SD, when the only hotel in town was full of workers constructing an ethanol plant in town. As color indicates, I'm not necessarily trying to be "stealth" but more have a place away from wind/water and don't expect many bugs.
