I understand that I can sleep in the Walmart parking lot, trucktops, Cracker barrel etc. overnight for free but can I also unhitch, leave my trailer there and drive away to sightsee/go to the beach for the day?
Rachelteacher said:I ask because i stay at a campground when I go to the beach which is a few miles away. Since checkout is at 11am, we have to drive home instead of spending the day at the beach.
Rachelteacher said:I'm new to rving and want to take a trip lasting a few weeks. Do you make all your reservations before departing? I dont want to be tied to a tight schedule, if we want to stay another night or so in one location, on the other hand, I'm not sure what I would do if I arrive somewhere and everything is booked.

On the BLM land south of Qz, that $40 includes use of the dump facilities and fresh water that are on the BLM land, about 2 miles S of Qz and a mile or so east of US 95.My point is for 3 weeks on the road the only camp site money paid was in Quartzsite, (I think $40 for up to 2 weeks) and we paid to dump our tanks twice. ($10 each)
You are asking for a "rule" where only local management whim applies. In general, nobody at a Walmart or Sams cares about you & your RV as long as you aren't causing a problem, so it is unlikely anybody is going to come out and check to see if your truck is there, 24/7. But if the store manager decided you were being a nuisance, he might ask you to leave. In my experience, a good guest gets cut more slack than one who takes excessive advantage of the host's goodwill.Can you leave your trailer at these places while you drive your tow vehicle to other locations?
Roy M said:Joe, it would have been prudent to talk to him first. The local stores do not allow rv parking for extended periods due to municipal bylaws, too many abuse the privelidge by using it as a campground and leaving a mess. We limped into a Wallyworld with a blown tire on the fiver, they didn't have the one we needed so told us to get a tow truck and take it somewhere else. I asked if we could remove the wheel and take it to another shop. Nope! Needless to say they didn't get any business from us.
