Walmartian

Don't know why but this camper has been jacked up in the air of a local Walmart for quite a while now. Almost looks abandoned. Hope this is not the case.

Regardless of what the reason is, it's "nunya bizness." It's between that Walmart's management/security, and the owner of the TC. They will deal with it.

He's **** lucky someone hasn't clipped it by now or it hasn't blown over.
Looks pretty flimsy sitting up there on them 4 sticks!

Most Walmarts handle this issue by not providing water. There are no working faucets anywhere, including outside the garden center.

at local walmart, security guy was complaining that every night they need to watch this one MH that was hanging around in parking lot for last couple weeks. he keeps coming up to garden center to fill his tanks. wonder how he is emptying his gray/black? in a storm train probably.

I hate to see Walmart parking lots turn into trailer parks with semi permanent campers. Eventually this stresses the corporate policy of welcoming RV visitors. I have seen Walmarts where a dozen or so RVers stay for weeks or months at a time.

🙂 Hi, one time I found an Airstream trailer in a Wal-Mart parking lot. The owner left his hitch and all attaching parts laying on the ground in front of his trailer. This would or could have been an easy theft in Southern California. I went back later and the owner showed up. He was a real nice guy and had his four little kids with him. He said he was from New Hampshire and his wife had to work so he left with the kids. (he was a teacher) He disconnected the trailer to buy all new tires for his truck from Wal-Mart. Then he took his kids to Disneyland for the day. Next day he was gone. At least he made a good size purchase from Wal-Mart and had a good reason to un-hitch.

Maybe someone was passing thru and had a major problem with their truck, like a transmission or engine failure. SO they left it there while the truck is getting fixed.

we had a trailer sitting for more than a month in our local walmart parking lot last winter. Yamaha generator strapped to front.
Later I saw him out at his camper so I stopped and asked how did it make out in 10-20's deg temps we were having.
it Turns out the guy came to see his brother, than had a heath emergency and ended up in recovery for 2 months :(.
but he did have a chance to winterize it right when this happened.

"Honest, Officer! I had no idea there were three dead bodies in there! I didn't kill them! You have to believe me!"

Good to know that Walmart has 4 Happi-jack motor heads in stock that work.

Every member of this forum knows that fronts should be raised higher than the rear.
If that is longer than 3 days, that probably means Walmart Security can't find tow truck who would be willing to take it.

Why not stop in and ask the Walmart manager about it?

I am packing as we speak.
Should be over in a week, or 2.

That's my thoughts exactly

It doesn't look particularly level in either picture.
