I've been to two of our local Wal-Marts and when I ask the store manager on duty about parking overnight in my Mountaineer, I get a blank look. And they routinely have rigs parked in their lots overnight!!

I understand that there's a Wal-Mart directory ($$) for their stores that will allow overnight parking in their parking lot, but was wondering if there are any other sources for this kind of information, what the "rules/etiquette/etc." are (extend slideouts, extend front jacks, etc.). I also understand that there are "community rules" that may prevent such overnight parking. Truck stop overnight parking is not acceptable to the spouse.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. We leave San Antonio for Orlando (I-10) on 3/31...

John,
Here's the code of etiquette we abide by:

1. Obtain permission from a qualified individual.
2. Park out of the way.
3. No awnings, chairs, or barbecue grill.
4. Avoid using slide-outs if at all possible.
5. Do not use your leveling jacks on asphalt.
6. Limit your stay - one night maximum!
7. Purchase gas, food, or supplies as a form of thank -you
when feasible.
8. Always leave an area cleaner than you found it.
9. Practice safety precautions.
