We should point out that we don't really see what harm the RV's are causing, as we usually park in un-used parking places and are very neat.
That all sounds very nice, but the reality is:
1. The amount of money spent by overnight RVers is so small to the overall revenue of Walmart, that it would be a surprising small percentage. I bet is something like 0.0001%!

One Rver in an out of the way part of a parking lot is one thing, but some Walmarts have become campgrounds with dozens of RVs parked blocking customer's access to the store and some parked for days or weeks at a time. Some even leave trash, dump tanks, and sunken spots in the asphalt from the leveler jacks.
