How to RV at Wal-Mart and not be seen

Yah safety and RV park don't go into the same phrase for us. Any security issues we have ever had have been in RV parks or campgrounds. Welcome is another word that doesn't always seem to go well with RV parks. A few years back we pulled into a roadside campground around 0700. Attendant comes out, looks us over and sends us down to an area that would accommodate us if we unhooked. Fine. We follow standard procedure of turning on all docking lights, porch lights, scare lights etc etc (yep it's bright) lots of trees and branches to watch for. One of the neighbours comes over and says coming in that time of night with that many lights on risks getting them shot out.....all with a dead pan look. Said something else about supper hour blah blah. Hmmm. Not sure if he's kidding. Don't really care. Not taking any chances. Said "Ok then, sorry for the trouble". Slowly work our way back out, attendant comes out and asks what the problem is. We thanked him for his time and told him it just didn't work out. Stayed at a nice Flying J about 40 miles down the road. Paid 5 bucks to dump and fill, fueled up. In Bed and watching the news on the dish by 0930. We rarely stay at roadside campgrounds just because of this kinda thing. So much more convenient and secure in Wally marts, casinos and travel centres. When we get to where we are going we check into something nice and enjoy our stay.

To each his own.
