Daytime side trips without the 5th

I see no difference in your leaving the MH sitting in their parking lot than leaving a trailer.

Either way ask first.

Good suggestion for using a pin lock if you need to leave behind your fifth wheel.

Or we want to tour their town or sites. And we promise we're not staying overnight.......NEVER have we been turned down.....

Sounds like the way to do it.

X2 to that, asking permission is always best.

I would also avoid doing this on weekends, as most of the time for HD and Wally the lots run pretty full.
I would also use a good pin lock, you never know who may be watching.

I would never think of dropping the fiver (or MH) and driving away unless I was in a RV park or campground. If I was the owner of a business and saw you do this with either a motor home or fiver, I'd call the towing company. They are in business to make money, not provide free parking so you can visit other businesses or sites.

Check into a RV Park.
