8 Tips for Free RV Parking at Wal-Mart

Today’s blog is about overnight parking at Wal-Mart.  We know many RVers who do this and if they feel safe, by all means, go for it!  Sometimes, you do what you gotta do!

We are referencing YouTubers – Long Long Honeymoon – for this information and as always, they do a fantastic job.

Without further ado…take it away Sean & Kristy!
