Walmart parking

Maybe their "friend" is their mobile service tech!
Nice looking rigs!

Price is right. I saw a travel trailer parked at least 2 weeks at my local WalMart.

They don't have to waste gas when needing grocery's or other items.

They may be working as Greeters at that Wally world. And it cuts down on travel $$ getting to work.

And some people wonder why many places prohibit overnight RV parking. Go figure.

The unit in the first picture need more duct tape along the roofline before the next rain. ;)

A few weeks ago, I saw an older trailer parked at my local Walmart. Not only did he have a slide extended, he actually had lawn chairs set up around it!. I kick myself for not snapping a pic for your viewing pleasure. This is the kind of idiocy that is going to blow it for ALL of us as far as overnighting at Walmart when transiting through.

I guess I'm one of those "mind your own business" people. Really, it's Wall Mart's decision to address the issue, no matter how much it may offend the public. Best solution is to go talk to the store manager and see what it's all about if it REALLY bugs you.

"Hey Mr. Manager? I noticed an RV in your parking lot for at least the last 2 week. Just curious, do yo know why he's there? Do you know if he needs any assistance?" ... nothing offensive in that, nothing judgmental, nothing confrontational, and handled in a professional manner. (and nothing says YOU are offering assistance either.)

Okay, call me a nay sayer, but Wally World is for OVERNIGHT parking, not camping. It only takes a few to wreck it for the rest of us. Of course I suspect that these "campers" are not familiar with the etiquette or just don't care.

Of course we should also consider that the owners of these vehicle DID check with Walmart management and were given permission to stay there overnight, for a week, or for a month.
It is not fair to make assumptions on what is happening without knowing all of the facts. Just saying.........

X2 on this. Surely the store mgmt. is aware of this.
