Been here in Newport,Oregon and have noticed just how many people camp at the Walmart!! Signs all over saying..."No Overnight Parking"
I see the same motorhomes/trailers and 5th wheels sitting there for 2-5 days with their slides out....patio rugs out and looks like they are planning on staying for a long time. Even went by there yesterday and guy had his slide out on his 5ver...unhooked like the others and he was washing it!!
Just a rant!

1.How do you know how long they have been there? Are you keeping an entry/departure log?

2. No disrespect meant but why does it bother you? Ugly views? Property values dropping?

There are people all over this world that ignore signs and do what they choose.

It's WalMart property and Wal-Mart's problem.

Rant at WalMart for allowing it and tell them you will be shopping somewhere else.

When it affects their sales, believe me, they will do something.

Because some of us follow the rules or common senses. It can be upsetting to see someone who do something that OP or I would not do. I bet you one of the persons who throws cigarette butt out the window from your car!

Did it EVER occur to you that perhaps they have PERMISSION from the Wal Mart Mgmt? The signs are there to give "legal Headroom" to Wal Mart in case they have to ask someone to leave for some reason.

In my veiw this is not about you following the rules...it is about you wanting to ENFORCE the rules. I think there is a streak of the School Hall Monitor in you.

It's sad but there is an awful lot of folks on this site who should really have their very own little Third World Banana Republic to rule over with an iron fist.
