Staying in a Walmart lot isn't always about just saving money. I've actually only done it once myself and that was on a cross-country trip from California to Wisconsin and back. I did a Walmart one night but did Cabellas, Cracker Barrel and several nights of just parking on the street in a business area. The main reason being it was just easy to pull off the freeway and park and go to bed and then get up in 8 hours and get back on the road. There was no need for water or charging the batteries. Just a need to get some sleep and head out. No reason to try and find a campground and get checked in and pay $20 to $50 just to get 8 hours sleep.
Isn't that what it IS all about?
When I traveled on the circuit in my van the economy motels where are around $30 to $60 plus tax per night to "get 8 hours sleep".
Fast forward a few years and now these run down economy motel chains start at $100 plus a night!
So IMHO $30 bucks a night for a CG to get a nice clean, safe, in my own MH, 8 hours of sleep, IMHO is a pretty darn good deal. :C
