When people park like this they are saying, the hell with the rest of the customers.

Pogoil.

The explosion occurred at 5am, I can't see there being a shortage of parking spaces 2 hours before the store even opens

I also note the Class A left 2 spaces between it and the shopping buggy corral. Even if the TC only parked in a single slot I'd be surprised if anyone would try to get in the remaining space.

It's a WalMart, aren't they open 24/7 in BC, they are around here.

But, I see it is parked right beside an A...which must have had a rear, right side blowout, that in turn caused the explosion.

I must be missing it, I don't see a blowout on either one. :h

I park on crazy angles all the time when Wally-docking, it's far easier to get my unit level by just angling it than messing around with blocks just to grab a few hours of sleep.

And thank you!

It`s nice to see that some of us here think the same way.

Are you guys all really serious about the parking???? I have often parked that way--when out in the outreaches of a parking lot where there is room? When pulling the trailer I sometimes take 20 spaces. I don't think that gives RV's a bad name at all! And the two rigs--maybe they were friends travelling together. Who knows?

Thank you!

LOL. I'de like to see any one of us try and fit an 8'wide RV exactly in between the lines and expect the next RV'er to do the same right next to you! No one would ever get out of their RV because the door would never open.

Has no one ever parked parallel in front to back spaces? I do it all the time way out in the back of the lot. I've never seen a 55' long parking spot at a Walmart or any type of store for that matter!

Looks like to me the guy also took up 4 parking spaces. Those are the ones that do not think. So he probably created his own problem.

If you look closely the class A was over the lines of 2 of the spots. There was a shopping cart rack next to the other spaces. I doubt very highly anyone would've tried to squeeze into those spots had the guy in the truck camper try to park in between the lines!

Geez! The guys camper blows up, he makes it out alive and all some people can do is rip on his parking job!
