There are zero advantages to staying at a public parking lot and I always know in advance where I am going to be the following day and what my options are for spending the night.
Zero advantages?
Here's a hint: Absolute statements are almost always wrong.
Advantages: Walmarts are often more convenient to get to than a campground (or free city park), WalMart has lots of great supplies at great prices a very short walk away, WalMarts usually have spacious parking lots,
WalMarts often welcome campers. WalMart does not require any sign in procedure where you have to complete a card with your rig's length, license plate, TV make, model and color.
Seems advantageous to me- most especially the bolded statement.
