Question on parking lot or walmart camping

Instead of cheaping out, why not just spring for a few bucks and get a campsite instead of stopping at WM? They offer us a courtesy and by unhooking and putting slides out you are putting anyone that really needs to stop for a while in jeapordy of losing the courtesy extended to us.

I used to feel the same way, but with the price RV parks/campgrounds are asking, I no longer feel that way. $40-$50 for a dirt/gravel parking space is outrageous. We've started considering skipping one-night stays in RV parks/campgrounds too.

I would only consider putting the legs down if you need to level, or get fuel. And slides left out only if you're in a open area where you won't be annoying anyone. IMO this is supposed to only be a stop, not a campsite.
