I am posting these for the OP.

I call them Walmart Warthogs. They are the very few RVers whose actions reflect badly on those of us who follow the boondocking code of etiquette proposed by several RV clubs and organizations. They are the ones viewed as uncouth by the civic leaders who govern the privilege of overnight parking on public property, and the business managers who kindly extend the privilege to us on private property. They are the few who will destroy it for all of us.

Where are the sewer hose pictures we were promised? I see nothing whatsoever wrong here. A mundane and tranquil, ho-hum setting.

If it's against Wal*Mart's rules and regulations, why are these RVs permitted to be parked there?

The OP has a little too much time on his hands.

No pictures, so how about video?

Here Setting up a tent, does that count on an rv forum?
Here. This one is going to cause some people a lot of angst, it mentions RV.Net extols the benefits of quiet generators, and, oh no, Walmart camping.

This thread is like TV news… ‘’Coming up NEXT… a news item you just won’t believe!!’’

Then, after 3 minutes of ads, they run along with mundane stuff, and again: ‘’Coming up NEXT… a news item you just won’t believe!!’’

More ads, more mundane… and: ‘’Coming up NEXT… a news item you just won’t believe!!’’

When the over-hyped news whatever-item FINALLY gets shown, it’s during the last 25 seconds of the program, and the credits roll on top of it.

So… I guess we’ll see those photos when this thread reaches what? 30 pages?

On edit, WOW PHOTOS!! Woohoo!!!

You can tell that they're just overnighting it... no lawn chairs, no extended awning, and no smoking BBQ.

Then again, it appears to be daytime, and the jenny is chained up. That means they've gone sight-seeing all day. This must be a WM next to a national park. The chairs, awning, and BBQ is for the evening.

Finally, at last the pictures.
Just pulled in at 11:30 PM FOR A Couple of hours sleep. Spent $300 at wal-mart so could just stay there for 4 hours.
Please ignore gen set and it's the middle of the day.

Oh yes, I see they did as all of these wal-mart campers do, park on the outer fringes of the lot. Oh wait, never mind.

I'm always amused by those that scream "show us the pictures". when I am driving thru the Wal-Mart lot, I can see the folks "camping" there, slides out, grill set up, levelers down, and don't really feel that I need to take a picture to show others. All you have to do is open your eyes and eventually you will see them. I guess the next time I see one I will circle back and post their license number.
OK, fine, tell ya what.....if other RVers being on Wal*Mart's private property bothers you so much, why not try to evict them yourself? See how far you get with them, and see who then gets the police called on them, and leaves with a citation or in handcuffs? .


Since I'm not a cheap bum who "camps" at Wal-Mart I couldn't care less if all Wal-marts ban it because of some folks who abuse the privilege.

ok, two things wrong here.

1. the Tt looks a little high in the front

2. the motorhome isn't pulled in frontwards so the doors can face each other!
