Something I have been concerned about in the back of my mind, ever since the walmart I saw from the highway in Flagstaff last summer...well maybe it was even before that...but it's the first example I can remember seeing. There we RV's of all sorts parked on the side of the road approaching the walmart, basically the service road on the other side of the interstate fence.... I think the parking lot was choked up too...
The other time that comes to mind was when we evacuated for a hurricane and ended up at a bass pro/walmart/costco parking lot that looked like a hoover city...that was different because most weren't full time van livers, but still the impression left of the site of it, the trash and such, etc.. isn't good.....
Anyway, just something to think about....
how full time rv living is different but similar to this homeless vanlife thing
how the increase in this sort of traffic makes more places outlaw the practice that RV'ers enjoy while enroute. Stealth users and those that cause problems exponentiate the problem
how it affects how the non-rving public might misinterpret RVing as being the same as vanlife
how it could make getting reservation in places like state parks more difficult....
