I was in a local Wal-Mart a couple of days ago in Suffolk Va. They had absolutely no RV supplies in stock at all.

Just where are these people? I've been looking for this type of RVer at every Walmart I have visited for the last 5 years and I can NEVER find this happening.

Just once, I would like to see a photo of this thing happening. But I guess these type of folks are just too elusive for anyone's camera...

Come on folks, lets see some pictures of these disgusting RVers!!!

I'm w/ you. I've personnaly never seen any of these things that are mentioned all of the time on this forum. Just lucky, I guess. Further more, most everyone is gone by 6 am. We are always the last to leave, at around 9 am. I'm just lazy that way !!

I have seen slides extended. I have seen awnings out. I have seen RV's parked in the exact same spot at my local WM for up to three solid days. But, no fire pit...

We stay at WM a half dozen times a year. But, it is NEVER free!!!! $180 spent the next morning just a couple weeks back.

We find it very inconvenient to pull into a cg for only one night, therefore we pull in at WM, spend our money and stay the night. We DO extend our bedroom slide. If we cannot stay at one WM, we move on to the next.

Taking money from campground owners? Do they really want me pulling in at 9pm or later and leaving before 8am?

I dont see a problem with a bedroom slide extending over grass . Many urban and rural myths and individuals coming up with their own set of WM regulations . Shouldnt WM be coming up with any regulations ?

The same has ocurred here in Hamburg, NY where they have already started clearing the land for our new Super Wal-Mart. Even before they put a shovel in the ground, the town imposed an ordinance that there will be no RV parking on the site of the new Wal-Mart. The current Wal-Mart here, aprroximately 5 miles away from the new site, is still allowed to permit RV parking. However, that store will be closed upon the opening of the new Super Wal-Mart.

This is a result of the typical actions of the Anti-WalMart idiots who tried to shut down the project with several attempted law suits at every turn. Needless to say they failed, but their antics did delay the project for almost two years. The anti-RV ordinance probably gave them a false sense of accomplishment and something to pat-themselves-on-the-back about.

That will give the night beat an added chore. I guess they will tow the semis along with the MH's.

My wife and kids can make WM a six hour shopping experience and then I would be ready to hit the road again.


That is a great image. A poor Police officer asking my wife why she takes so long shopping.

Is it also against the law for me to nap in my car, or read while she does some real careful value shopping?
Thanks
