2006 Wal-Mart "No Overnight Parking" Stores
Description
Most Wal-Mart stores graciously allow RVers to stay the night in their parking lots. But, increasingly, many do not. In fact, hundreds of stores throughout the United States do not allow RVers to stay overnight in their parking lots, and the list of locations is growing every week. In some cases, it's because of a local ordinance, other times because of objections of nearby businesses or residents, or, sad to say, because of abusive behavior by some RVers who have left no choice for store managers but the ban stays. Currently, Wal-Mart operates 1,494 discount stores, 1,386 Supercenters and 532 Sam's Clubs. Most Wal-Marts that prohibit overnight stays post signs that say so. But not all. RVers who try to stay the night at a store where it's not permitted may be asked politely to leave, or as often happens, be ordered to leave long after they have gone to sleep. In some cases, where a local law prohibits overnight stays, local police may knock on a door late at night with an eviction notice, or even issue a citation. Our directory, updated in February, 2006, lists more than 350 U.S. stores that do not permit overnight stays in an RV. Included in this book are "our common sense rules about staying the night at Wal-Mart," which will help you understand the rules — official and unofficial — about staying the night in one of the store’s parking lots. Bring this small book along with you on your trips. It will come in very handy and save you from going out of your way to a store that will then turn you away. Published 2006.
