trailertraveler Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 We have seen a number of them in the National Forests and on BLM lands. Carried on a good off-road capable 4x4, they can go just about everywhere the vehicle can go without worrying about towing a trailer. Amazon sells a number of models.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 The guys that ran/owned the Low Key Hideaway had one on top of a F-250 that they used boondocking.

aunut Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 My gosh, this looks like more like an RV park than a Walmart. Maybe it's just around here, but I have never seen more than 2 RV's in a WM parking lot. 2014 Winnebago Vista 35B Class A. 2010 Honda CR-V.

G&K Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 That's fairly tame. 30+ is possible at peak weekends in some Walmarts. I hope their view that hosting RVers is good business continues. I know I tend to spend a lot with them when staying overnight.

Geo We seem to spend a lot at Wal Mart whether we are staying there or not. Locally we normally only see 1 or 2 if any at all, that looks like one we stayed at in Texas in March, had 30+ RV'S there.

Jimalberta Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 We have stayed in some Walmarts where there were between 20 and 30 units. They start arriving around 4 pm and are pretty much all gone by 8 am the next morning. The variety of rvs can be quite interesting. <p>....JIM and LINDA......2001 American Eagle 40 '.towing a GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 with RZR in the rear. 1999 JEEP Cherokee that we tow as well.

G&K Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 ONP Walmart from Allstays is awesome. "#1925, Supercenter Apr 2015: Signs posted but asked at service desk and they said ok. Stayed one night in our 37 ft 5th wheel along the east side of parking lot. No problems but a little road noise. Even put out our 4 tip outs. Oct 2014: The signs are still posted saying No Overnight Parking so I asked customer service if it was okay. She said Walmart allows it. Sep 2013: Signs posted no overnight parking but manager said Walmart did not care. We spent the night along with several other RVs with no problem. RVs were scattered throughout parking lot. Aug 2013: Parked far away from doors. They said it was the town rules No overnight parking, however, Walmart is ok with parking. We met a man with his genie on and two chairs outside! He was there several days, and we saw 6 other RVs there last night.

stevekk Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have seen rentals with a pop up tents with ladders and camped next to them in a RV park. Usually they are on a minivan. Looked OK to me. Just people having a good time. Usually first time RVers. Google: Juicy RV rentals. I tried to upload a pic, but said file too big.

richfaa Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Although we have never overnighted at a Wall-mart we appreciate the opportunity to do so should the need arise. We hope that other Rv'ers do not take that opportunity away due to abusing the opportunity.

drallison Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 We have overnighted both at Walmarts as well as Flying J's. Never had any issues, other than once heard the parking lot cleaner running his machine at 0300.... Although Flying J's are usually more noisy, I actually sleep better there---perhaps it is that their designated RV areas make it seem more "safe". Maybe it's just me.......

gjhunter01 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 When I was running hot shot loads with my pickup, I routinely stayed at Walmarts around the country and yes, the sweeper could be a problem some nights. Also, stay away from the loading docks as they get busy and noisy during the off hours. I never liked the truck stops cause it never failed that the truck next to me would release his air brakes and leave during the night and about the time you fell asleep another truck would arrive and do the air brake thing again. Home Depots were another favorite short night stop. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Never complain about noise at a truck stop to a guy that had a two-level hog hauler pull in next to him. To say I had a crappy morning surprise is an understatement, the side of the rig was really foul. First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.
