What gets me is WalMart. When we stop we generally spend two or three hundred dollars on provisions etc yet only I can think of can we get into to fuel our diesel MH in Decateur ,Indiana. And they pile, in the spring tons of fertilizer and things so it seems they want to block RVs from filling up there. In the early am or late is when we fill after leaving the factory.
Many more RVers would fill up...and buy a lot more groceries etc if they were welcomed. Clearly they let those they lease pr coop space for the fuel stations to keep put RVs.
I am not sure what you are trying to say in that last sentence. But as far as RV'ers spending money. People in regular vehicles spend just as much as someone in a RV. The whole "you lost my business because x" is no different than stating I pay your salary to the the police officer that pulled you over for speeding. Neither cares as there are plenty of consumers or speeders to keep everyone busy and profitable.
I said nothing of the sort that you posted. They do lose some business of RVers because if they could fill up there there would be a lot more stop, fuel and then shop there.
As far as how much we or anyone spends on groceries and other supplies,that non RVers spend as much has no bearing but...I suspect we spend a lot more when we stop at Walmart with Motorhome, because we can get the RV into and out of most of the lots easily, tha otherwise as we tend to shop other grocery stores.
RVers are not taking anythign away from Wal mart in any kind of protest but Wal Mart is losing a good bit of business by excluding RVs from the fuel pumps.
