Wal-mart Parking

Recently, there was a note on the FMCA blog about an idiot from Florida suing Wal-mart because they had opened their door of their camper to a potential intruder.  Their case is that Wal-mart is responsible for their security. 
This type suit has the potential of ruining a privilege afforded RV'ers.  Since we feel no one should be responsible for our lunacy except ourselves, we sent a note of appreciation to Wal-mart for their gracious hospitality.  
Below is a copy of that note.  Feel free to use any part should you feel like writing.

Dear Sir or Madam:

The purpose of this note is to thank WALMART and its employees for your warm hospitality as we travel the roads of North America in our motor home.

Recently, on our annual trip to Florida, we encountered snow from upstate New York to middle South Carolina.  Most campgrounds were covered with snow and inaccessible.  On two occasions, we stopped in WALMART, asked permission to park overnight and were warmly welcomed.  Since most items in the motor home were not ready for use due to winterizing, we used these occasions to stock up.

We stay in WALMART on various occasions each year.  We always:

·        Ask permission (as there may be some zoning restrictions)

·        Ask if you want us to park in a specific spot.

·        Don’t stay more than overnight.

·        Try not to look like we are “camping”.

·        Use the visit to “stock up”.

We believe parking in WALMART is a privilege, want to thank you for that privilege, and hope you will continue to grant it.

Best Regards,

Tom and Sharon Roule
