Daytime side trips without the 5th

[Jerry_B]

When we had our motor home, we would stop at a Home Depot or Walmart, unhook the car and check out the local area. Now with our 5th wheel, we are somewhat unsure about leaving the trailer in a parking lot. Yes or no??

Oh good grief.....the answers are the opposite of what we do!!! We will pull into an empty lot or Home Depot/Walmart.......go in and talk to the manager. We will buy something, but tell them our "problem"......the problem is that we need to run into town, too, but finding parking for the 5th wheel might be hard and wonder if he minds if we take it off the truck for a couple of hours. Or we want to tour their town or sites. And we promise we're not staying overnight.......NEVER have we been turned down.....

I would never think of dropping the fiver (or MH) and driving away unless I was in a RV park or campground. If I was the owner of a business and saw you do this with either a motor home or fiver, I'd call the towing company. They are in business to make money, not provide free parking so you can visit other businesses or sites.

Check into a RV Park.
