What gets me is WalMart. When we stop we generally spend two or three hundred dollars on provisions etc yet only I can think of can we get into to fuel our diesel MH in Decateur ,Indiana. And they pile, in the spring tons of fertilizer and things so it seems they want to block RVs from filling up there. In the early am or late is when we fill after leaving the factory.
Many more RVers would fill up...and buy a lot more groceries etc if they were welcomed. Clearly they let those they lease pr coop space for the fuel stations to keep put RVs.

I am not sure what you are trying to say in that last sentence. But as far as RV'ers spending money. People in regular vehicles spend just as much as someone in a RV. The whole "you lost my business because x" is no different than stating I pay your salary to the the police officer that pulled you over for speeding. Neither cares as there are plenty of consumers or speeders to keep everyone busy and profitable.

I would venture to say the people in regular vehicles spend more than the person in an RV. They have homes with full size refrigerators, large closets, garages for storage and things like lawns, pools and landscaping to take care of. They have the need for more stuff and the ability to store more stuff. Hence, they buy more stuff. I would be curious as to just exactly where these people who whine that Walmart isn't a convenient stop go to as an alternative. The suggestion that Walmart should cut back of inventory to make room for an RV to maneuver or park probably would earn a chuckle or two in Bentonville.
