I was driving past my local Walmart in Pass Christian, Mississippi and I saw this! I just had to post a photo.

so many topics in one thread, wow. 1 I like potatoes, especially with beef, so Idaho rules. 2 I stopped at a Steak house, forget name but a big chain, near Richmond, and after dinner asked manager to stay over night, he directed me around back. Quiet with no disturbance. Next morning I had greasy breakfast next door at Cracker barrel. 3 It only takes a few to mess a good relation ship with parking permissions. There was a van dweller that "lived" in wall-marts and stole ice from a neighboring motel. That wall-mart is now on the forbidden list.

Some folks have a huge false sense of entitlement which often ruins the situation for others in the future.

Walmart overnight parking

If you flush with the exhaust fan pulling air from the trailer, and the windows, vents, etc., are closed, the path of least resistance for the air to enter the trailer and replace that being pulled out by the fan is through the black water tank roof vent and you will find pulling the air from the black water tank is indeed something you only need to experience once.

And if anyone else is in the trailer when you do this, they might decide this act is punishable by death or serious injury to the perpetrator. 💋😷

We all make errors......somehow my iPad had me at a different spot in the thread....oh well...

Well, maybe next time! We are motorcyclists, but don't know about them hooligans.

We have certainly been baked and fried, but it's been a long time since we were little tots! I hope you would find us "alright."

I guess I've never run just one fan. We've used the toilet, 1000s of times, never had reverse air flow. Hehe, I think I would have noticed.

Charges seem appropriate to the incident, and would logically stem from their behavior regardless of where this occurred.

Our Interstate is now at 159,000 + miles, and has spent a dozen or so nites in WalMart parking lots, also rested there inumerable times during shopping trips. All without incident.

These kinds of things, and people, are the exception rather than the rule.....in my experience and the verbalized experiences of others here and elsewhere.

As with any place.....if it doesn't look or feel right, move on.

Otherwise....don't be inordnately nor unnecessarily fearful.
