WQe went RVing in the USA four years ago and had an amazing time touring Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, etc.
On a couple of nights we stopped over at the 24 hour Walmarts. We'd been told that Walmart welcomed overnighters.
We didn't plan on using Walmart at first, but we rolled up in Laramie at 11.00 at the sites were closed so we decided to give it a try.
We parked up out the front of the Walmart and set about making a cup of tea (typically British). A few minutes later a security guard drove passed, parked up and knocked on the door. Uh-oh!
He was very welcoming and suggested that we might want to park round the back rather than at the front of the store so we drove around the back. We were amazed to discover not one or two RVs, but about 30. We felt as safe as ever and spent a very pleasant night there.
At about 1am we decided to stock up on provisions - it seemed the right thing to do as we were staying for free - and ended up spending $300 in Walmart on food, a new camera, and various gifts.
I'm sure that's exactly why Walmart encourage RVs to stop the night.
Asda is now owned by Walmart, so I'm wondering if they welcome overnighters in motorhomes at their 24 hour stores.
Does anyone know?
And if not maybe we could start a campaign to get them to do so
