Why are you hanging around a beginning RV forum? You live on the road for extended periods, operate your own websites, you have a blog, you sell books on how to avoid camping fees, and you advocate camping for free. You brag that you traveled for an entire 12 months but only spent $115.50 in camping fees. You certainly are NOT a beginning RVer.
In my honest opinion you are only on here to take advantage of this free forum to do research for some idea you have.
I think I was pretty honest about why I'm here in my initial post. I'm looking for input from RVers about "my idea" for a new project: Starting an advocacy group for RVers who'd like to see options besides all or nothing ($40 per night or Walmart). Someone as "experienced as I am in my niche" might be able to get something like this going - IF enough RVers want it. If they're all like you, beemerphile1, then there's no need for me to think about it. I'm simply here to find out.
I have to say that I'm really not used to a community that converses with so much sarcasm.... Maybe it was a mistake to come here hoping for true feedback or constructive ideas.
I'll tell you that as a camper/traveler, your idea of $10.00 overnight spots is a pipe dream. Spending the night at a Walmart is a secondary usage. Walmart makes their money at the register, not the parking lot. Whole different business model for the park owner.
What strikes me funny is that once overnight parking is banned at most Walmarts,which will happen, the folks who travel exclusively during the night and arrive late/leave early will learn to adjust their schedules. The camp ground owner does not have to change a thing.
