Bernie This is a great site and full of info that will help our plan of a 3 month tour of the USA then Canada. The Walmart parking sounds interesting although somewhat strange? great marketing ploy but why anyone would want to use this for anything but sleeping in a safe place before their trip continues is beyond me? its just a car parking lot after all and to set up camp with all the trimmings I spose is where the good old American term of "trailor trash" came from? It should be a case of park, spend money, sleep then resume travel. The lists of Walmarts that do not permit overnite stays can be misleading due to most having comments that contradict this? Spose we will just have to wait till we get there and ask at each place if we use them at all? Flying Js seem a better way to go? 10/17/2009
Diane McCray I just traveled across the USA over a three month period. I stayed in many Walmart parking lots and often for more than one night at a location while I was sight seeing. I wanted to write the wallmart corp and thank them but don't know how to reach them. Every fourth day I stayed at a paid park so I could dump my tanks. Once I got sick and was in a parking lot for four days. One of the young men that collected carts was most helpful to me at that time. For the most part the lots were clean and almost park like. I appreciate them very much. 9/5/2007

Noelle The funny thing is, the Walmart near me has a sign right at the entrance that says "no overnight vehicles". And I'm not in a coastal town either - inland Connecticut actually. 3/19/2007
ed if you stay at a walmart parking lot with a motor home are you able to use your slideout? do you ask permission or do you just park it out of the way? 11/13/2005
