Wow. What kind of scumbag would dump their tanks on a Walmart parking lot? That's not an RV'er. It's just an idiot who owns an RV.

Is it freeloading to park your car while you shop.
Most folks buy something while overnighting.
If you feel guilty, then drop a twenty for Walmart's favorite charity.
There is always a collection point somewhere in the store.

I don't see accepting reasonable hospitality as freeloading, especially since each stop results in spending at the store.

I saw the video on tv and also experienced seeing wet spots and bags of trash on an early morning run. The one we went to had a smaller parking lot so it wasn't like in a corner.

All kinds of people own RVs. I've seen "stuff".

Camping in a Walmart parking lot reminds me of the " Married with Children" episode ,where the Bundys moved into the local grocery store (Foodies) because the store had A/C ,better food and it was free !

In Calgary, the Stampede is approaching. During the Stampede, the local Walmarts have so many RV's, it looks like a city. I suspect that they provide lots of business.
