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...

I tend to stay at either Walmart (most often since there are more of them,) or Flying J truck stops when in travel mode.
We did a 45 day round trip from Richmond VA area to LA earlier this year. We stopped at a lot of places along the way and on the way back that we were interested in seeing. However, the first place om my list of stops was Vicksburg, and the National Battlefield there. It took us two days to get there, so on the 1st and 2nd night we stopped at Wally Worlds because they are convenient, relative inexpensive (after buying supplies ;). I didn't even consider a camp ground those two nights because I didn't want to go wandering miles off my route to find a CC, nor did I want to pay 20+ dollars for the privilege.
We'd pull into a WM and my wife would go in to get permission. The manager would usually also tell up roughly what part of the lot he/she would like us to park. We never put out our slide since our floor plan allows us to use the bed, get to the bathroom, and use the refrigerator without it being out. And we certainly never unhitched the TT from the truck.
Most times, we'd end up getting something we forgot, or needed but didn't have. And sometimes I buy some hot prepared food.
I would never drop the trailer, put out the awning, or put out our camp chairs & stuff like that.
Also, we'd usually be back on the road before 7am.

Reason I ask is, in our current TT, the restroom isn't usable without the slide out. Never thought about that when we were looking at the TT and it's to late now to do anything about it.
