Wal Mart parking?
Hope this is the right forum. I have a question about WM camping. I've seen "The ABC's of Wal Mart Camping" and it said never open slider. Is that a fairly solid rule? Reason I ask is, in our curre...

Our first Wally Docking experience was this past February, in West Virginia, when it was 10 degrees F. on our way to sunny Texas. We called in advance for permission/instructions and arrived at the Super Center about 11pm, parking where they requested, then I waved at a passing police cruiser going by at 11:15. It was a pretty level spot. I left no exterior clues that we were over-nighting, including the stairs.
The furnace did fine for a few hours, but I think the cold temps reduced the pressure in the LP tanks or they froze or something. Plus, I hadn't considered insulating the one single-pane window in the coach, which is in our overcab bunk area. We woke up freezing about 4am, I put another sleeping bag over us and we toughed it out. Then, about 5:30am, the parking lot sweeper decided it was the Indy 500 and our rig was the infield. I think he did about 25 or 30 laps around us. I'm certain it was just to mess with us. I guess a guy driving a sweeper at 5:30am when it's 10 degrees has to get their jollies somehow. About 7am, we left. I was happy to have had a place to get a few hours of rest, and it was kinda funny how aggravated the Better Half got at the sweeper. She's always nice. I tried to pretend it was Mom's vacuum cleaner and went to sleep.
I'd do it again. I might have some different equipment, though.
