Not really sure where You have been??????
Walmart has their own Atlas which lists all of their stores and pretty much describes the RV parking........ and Walmart its company policy---- philosophy is to allow RV parking because of the increase business.
Local ordinances are generally the ones that prohibited it.
There is a you tube video, on another thread here..that will surely damage the Wal-Mart "overnight parking" idea.

Like you said it's a philosophy, not a formal corporate-wide policy. The atlases, web sites, etc. aren't published by Wal*Mart. You won't find a formal, written policy regarding overnight parking published by Wal*Mart corporate (if you're aware of one point me to it - I'd like to be wrong on this). Individual stores may take it upon themselves to publish a policy, which is why I suggest keeping it on the down low - on a case by case basis- rather than trying to force Corporate to make a statement in writing that could affect all of their stores. I would venture to guess you'd get a wishy-washy response that passes the buck to local management and laws anyway.
Local ordinances vary from town to town, state to state. Some ordinances trump private business policy, some don't. The apps and atlases are compiled by third-parties that collect that information.
And yeah, the guy showering and the vagrants that brawled with the cops don't help the cause.
