Hi Folks,
Just got this from the nice folks at Wal-Mart

Thank you for your message.

While we do not offer electrical service or accommodations typically
necessary for recreational vehicle motorists, Wal-Mart values RV
travelers
and considers them among our best customers.  Consequently, we do permit
RV
parking on our store lots, as we are able.  Parking is granted by
individual
stores based on availability of parking lot space and contingent upon
local
regulations.  It is our intention to satisfy the needs of all our
customers,
and our RV customers are no exception.



Thank you.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

----Your Original Comments Were----

First, THANKS for putting a store in our town. We used to drive 40 miles

round trip to shop, now it's about 5. Save gas...good for the
environment.
Second, an internet thread has been floating around about Wal-Mart
allowing
RV's to park over night in their lots. This would be a great for us as
we
often travel in areas where an RV campground is quite some distance,
which
reduces our time seeing the area. NOT that I'd make a permanant home, my

wife wouldn't like staying in a VW camper that long, but is it true
you'll
allow an overnight stay? I've seen a few RV's at our local store and was

wondering. Thanks, Dan, Adrienne, Doogie Bowser (lab)
