Mall of America Warning

One of the drawbacks of taking an over-sized vehicle to a place like that.

Thanks for the info.
I want to go there sometime. I'll do some research before I make the trip.

I haven't been to the Mall of America, but have been to West Edmonton Mall, which was owned by the same people, but larger. I haven't been there since 1995. It's pretty interesting to check out.

Bob in Calif.

I just drop off my passengers THEN I find a place to park the MH so only I have to walk across parking lots if they're that big in the first place. Besides I need the exercise. :B

Yes, no guides and no signs but they do run a very noticeable free shuttle from the parking lot to the Mall doors about every 10 minutes. They even give you free water. Was just there in late July.

Strange post. The only warning needed is "get ready to have a lot of fun!"

The mall is under construction on the North side due to a HUGE expansion project underway. My suggestion would be to call ahead for parking information. Or camp at Lebanon Hills (County Park) and drive in.

Haven't been there in 3 years, but Dakotah Meadows RV Park and casino run free shuttles to Mall of the Americas if your their guest. Much easier
r than trying to navigate traffic and find parking spaces.

Yup, Dakotah Meadows at Mystic Lake.

We were passing through so there was no hope of using a campground shuttle. I called the mall desk and found out the Lambue lot shuttle only runs one some weekends.

As said, you are on your own there.
