Walmart and other free camping
I am planning to cross the USA and Canada next summer. Instead of finding a campground each night, I am thinking of camping in parking lots. So, Here are my questions: 1) When parking at Walmart...

Not to sound too hard but if 'camping' at Walmart & such places is necessary to do the trip maybe you might want to look at your travel budget.
With ALL due respect, that's a 'catch all' statement that, well, doesn't catch all.
I just got back from a 4 day last minute trip to Dayton OH to help a stranded friend. I literally rushed out of town so fast I didn't have time to even load groceries into the coach. I stopped at a Wally World to shop and another m/h was parked next to me when I came out. The owner asked if I was staying the night and was it ok that they weren't too far away from me? When I mentioned that I was enroute and just getting some exercise and groceries the guy seemed rather disappointed.
It seems they had rushed into town to see a dying relative and there was no c/g's nearby so the local Wally World was the only close by choice.
They might only be there a night, they might be there several days.
It had nothing to do with their budget, it had everything to do with an entire family seeing a dying relative.
I have zero issues with that.
