Dave in Lake Villa - 18 Sep 2007 23:04 GMT
I recently bought a nearly new 25' class c. RV and have stayed at a
Campground or two.  I was contemplating doing a dry-run by staying at a
local Super Walmart or Flying J.  just for the experience ... before i
go away for the winter down south and possibly make a routine of staying
overnight at such places.

How has staying overnight at walmart and/or flying j.  been for you ?
Was it quiet enough ?  Did others respect your presence in the Parking
Lot ?  Any bad experiences ?  Tips and suggestions ??

Thanks alot. , Dave.

RVers claim to be such nice friendly people but I've not found that to
be the case. In my opinion and in my experience they'd as soon as run
over you as look at you if you're riding a bike. But, that being said, I
have to wonder why RVers haven't got together and put up a website where
RVers who own a place in the country or even in the city where it's
legal to park RVs could open their hearts and parking spots to other
traveling RVers. Seems to me they could share their land with other
RVers who just wanted to stay overnight for a day.

But, I guess since nothing like this exists it pretty well proves what
I've discovered that RVers are mostly selfish bullies who don't give a
hoot about anybody else.  Think about the lack of fellowship that drives
RVers to park in Wal-Marts and other mall parking lots often to be
harassed by local police. What's wrong with you people. I guarantee I
could show up at any cyclists house unannounced and ask if I could stay
for the night in my RV and they would be happy to accommodate me. But,
maybe my fame helps with this.

REPLY:  Actually Shad,  there are tons of free places for RVers to stay
not only for a night, but, for the entire season !. The books : Free
Campgrounds (west and east) list countless numbers of them that are free
or under $12 per night.  The attraction behind staying in any given
walmart parking lot for the night , is when youre very tired driving and
wish to have the convenience of shops and restaurants nearby .  Not ALL
RVers are 'selfish bullies'  Shad , and in fact,  there is a huge
christian population in the RV hobby which makes RVing truly enjoyable .
Do you think Walmart would allow you to stay overnight in their parking
lot with your bike and tent ?  No. Youd have to be an RVer for that
priveldge.  You need to stop saying RVers are this and that Shad ;   if
you fell off your bike and hurt yourself on the side of the road....its
far more likely an RVer would stop to help you than any other motorist.

Since I have Shad filtered I didn't see his post.

The best place to find other RVers who will offer you a place to park on
their property is by joining The Escapees RV Club, Inc. Their Days End
section lists states, cities and people who will extend this invitation
to fellow members. There is a fellow who keeps track of these and other
free or very inexpensive places to overnight and sells a CD with updated
information. His price just covers the cost of the CD and mailing. You
can get information about how to order one from the Escapees RV Club
Magazine.

We offer our pad with full hookups to friends and friends of friends,
but as we live in a winter RVer area, we don't list in the magazine or
we'd be inundated with requests. We do have friends in the area that
list their place in the Days End and learned from them why not to <g>

Dave, if you are really serious about this traveling you want to do,
don't be such a cheapskate. Join Escapees. They have their own deeply
discounted RV parks, discounts at many commercial RV parks of up to 50%
of rack rates and many more services for the "Serious RVer" including
the best mail forwarding in the country, the *only* mailing address for
full timers that has been adjudicated by two state courts as legal for
voting and a super support network. There are also discounts on
insurance and financial services that should make a penny-pincher like
you happy to pay the dues for the return benefits.

REPLY:  A few weeks back, i bought a nearly new 2008 Freedom Express
Class C. 25'  for $45,000  and am leaving for the southern Texas areas

serious about extended RVing  each winter from Nov thru Feb.   Im not 'a

I simply want to help offset the current high cost of gasoline on a
5,000 mile trip by mostly staying overnight free while enroute to
southern Texas , then southern N.M,  then southern Arizona till i nestle
in around the Lake Havasu area on a BLM site.  Ill look more seriously
into Escapees however as it appears theres some distinct benefits.
Since i now own the 'Free Campgrounds' books / east and west... it is
comforting to know i can easily find a place for $12 per night or less.
I would like to give the Flying J/Walmart/Cracker Barrel/Casinos  a try
, while enroute to my destinations since they are free...and...just for
the new  experience of Blacktop Boondocking.

Sorry to have struck such a nerve. You are lucky to have people here
doing all of your research for you, you know. You've had dozens of
questions over the past few months and everyone has given you the
courtesy of helpful answers. You have not been as nice to posters as
they have been to you. Go back and check your own posts.

Galveston and Corpus Christi aren't really "southern Texas" The Lower
Rio Grande Valley is  Southern Texas. You will be at closest 250 miles
away. Galveston is a suburb of Houston with a beach and some expensive
restaurants. Corpus is another metro-city with a beach though much
smaller than Houston. The weather there can get quite chilly from
December through February - not continually, but for days at a time. Not
my idea of a place to winter, but some people, like those from
Minnesota, find it warm enough. I don't care for ice.

IMHO Black top camping is fine for spending the night while you are
traveling from one place to another. Come in late, ask permission and
leave early. It's a courtesy that merchants extend for tired motorists
(including over-the-road professional drivers)

Most people who do blacktopping are doing it to save time and not have
to leave their route in search of a campground when all they need is a
place to rest for the night.

People who take advantage of these courtesies and "camp" in parking lots
for more than a single night are the ones that are in many ways
responsible for local ordinances being passed that ban such parking. No
one wants an impromptu "trailer park" in their neighborhood. I've been
RVing for several decades and I don't like seeing the same RVs in my
local WalMart lot for days on end with toads/tows disconnected when
there are RV parks around that generate revenue for my local government.

Overnight is one thing, camping for longer than that is rude and could
be harmful to other RVers who need those places for a night's rest to be
safe drivers.

If you visited some of those Yahoo! Groups people have suggested, you
will see the etiquette adopted by responsible and polite RVers who
blacktop.

If you can't afford camp grounds when you are staying for more than one
night, then maybe you shouldn't have bought the RV. JMHO.

In my way of thinking, the a**hole would be someone who would choose
to pay to park, when they can park free. Sounds like you are just

I really don't care what Janet says. Those are HER values; and if she
wants to adhere to HER values, then that's her business. It has
nothing to do with me. And I don't for a moment buy her hypothesis,
that RVers staying anywhere for more than a single night are at all
responsible for parking bans. The people responsible for these bans
are campground owners, under various organizational or lobby groups
such as ARVC (Association of Recreational Vehicle Campgrounds); KOA
Kamprounds; COANS (Campground Owners of Nova Scotia), and other such
predatory entities.

While you seem to be mesmerized by Janet's way of thinking, I am quite
able to think for my self, as is Dave; and we really don't need Janet
or you to do our thinking for us. I will camp any way I choose to
camp, with need yours, or Janet's dispensation!

Are you bi-polar or something? You just got done saying:

1. Tthat RVers who choose to camp overnight for free are the scum of
the earth;

2. You hate RVers camping in your local Wal-Mart, 'cause it could be
harmful to other RVers;

3. If RVers camp in Wal-Marts, local governments will invoke RV
parking bans.

In that case, the best way to accomplish your objective if keeping
freebie campers out of Wal-Mart, would be to encourage RVers to stay
at Wal-Mart at every opportunity, and if at all possible, for days at
a time! Then RVers will be banned from your Wal-Mart, and you will be
happy!! Right?? Or have I missed something in your contradictory
diatribe?  

>If you can't afford camp grounds when you are staying for more than

Really!! If you buy into that nonsense, then you are dumber than
you've already heretofore revealed. I will stay in where ever I wish,
and for as many nights as I wish, regardless of what YOU think. Like
at the outset, you don't even have a real name. You are a nobody, a
non-entity, an annonymous piece of nothing. To such, I generally
accord as much significant as a cobweb.

No but you are dyslexic. I said overnight is fine. More than one night
is taking advantage of an invitation and could be the cause of loacl
ordinances. People living near these merchant lots are just as
responsible for the ordinances as are campground owners, but as usual,
your head is up your butt.

Extended stays are the cause of no-parking ordinances.

I never said that. You said that. I said that overnight, with
permission, arriving late and leaving early was fine. Learn to read, man.

You missed everything.

It's not just me, you jerk. That policy has been adopted by FMCA,
Escapees, and several brand owner's clubs. They also don't approve of
moochers like you.

As I stated before, and hopefully this will be clear even to those who
speak Canadian English:  One night in a WalMart or other merchant lot
having asked permission, arriving late and leaving early is acceptable
behaviour (spelled it so you could understand it)in the RV community.
Using a parking lot as a campground is not.

People who have attended municipal meetings where the ordinances to ban
overnight parking are being discussed have reported that the main reason
citizens want to ban such parking is that it is esthetically offensive.
The secondary reason is local campgrounds.

I personally know several campground owners and while they would like
the revenue from overnighters they understand the need for just a place
to park for some rest at night. They get angry when they see the same
rigs in the WalMart lot for days on end with toads/tows disconnected.
Those people are not there for a night's rest. They are there because
they are cheap.

You are one of the cheap slob RVers that cause the problems for others.
If you don't want to pay for camping, find a piece of BLM land where you
won't be offensive to the local populace when you put out your awnings,
slides and jacks, disconnect your toad and dump your tanks into a storm
sewer.

Please stay away from my town you ignorant miser.

 Isn't it the merchants' decision on what is acceptable?

It should be, however in many municipalities the merchant must obey
local no overnight parking statutes. The citizens of the towns get these
passed.

A while back there was a huge fuss about a WalMart in Montana. The local
citizens, pushed in this case by a KOA owner, passed a no overnight
parking ordinance. The WalMart wanted to extend the invitation, but the
law didn't permit it.

There has to be a compromise between the local citizens and the RVers
passing through town. The one night, pulling in late and leaving early
doesn't offend any one and where RVers have been considerate enough to
follow the suggested etiquette, everything is fine. It's when the same
RVs are in the lot day after day that folks get upset. That's why the
large RV groups like FMCA and Escapees as well as several brand clubs
have adopted the etiquette policy.

The KOA lost so much business, they finally backed down.  I do believe
they may have implemented some rational regs, especially to cheap AH's

I think they did back down, but I recently saw something about them
putting the ordinance back. I don't subscribe to those Yahoo! Groups any
longer.

BTW, it wasn't just that KOA that lost business, a general boycott was
started and RVers made it quite public that they would  boycott the town
and deprive it of their tourist dollars. That was the real clincher in
the repeal.

I don't think the KOA lost a single penny of business because of the
WalMart. No one was going to go to that KOA which was out of the way
and, as all KOA's are, way over-priced. The national headquarters of KOA
is in that same Montana town, BTW.

Re: If you are referring to RV.Net,etc. I agree.  That group is run by
a group of folks who talk a no politics arena but are certainly

RV.net! I stopped going there years ago. I hate that kind of tight
moderation when it's only the moderator's agenda that counts. I'd rather
create my own filters than have some one else censor for me.

There is a WalMart Parking Yahoo! Group. There is also a free campground
group that has WalMart parking threads, too. Sorry I don't remember the
actual names.

Do you really think that non-rv citizens notice that the same RVs are there
more than one day?  I expect that they complain about any RVs.

> Do you really think that non-rv citizens notice that the same RVs are there

Yes, Frank, I believe they do. Unless you have seen some of these
parking lots that are half-filled with Rvs for days on end, you wouldn't
understand how  the locals could find them offensive.

We have used WalMarts overnight in our travels and if I happen to be at
our local WalMart in the evening and see a few RVs I don't think
anything of it, but when I see 4 or 5 of them at 12 PM with no one
around and an obviously disconnected car or tow truck, it is not easy to
overlook. Many of them don't even bother to park in the back or away
from the store and we shoppers have to find parking when they have taken
up several spaces.

It's that kind of behavior that sours the locals. That and reports of
generators running all night when the store lot is on the edge of a
residential area.

You can't believe how rude some RVers can be. No one has told them that
they are not "entitled" to park wherever they feel like parking. Just as
there are insensitive people in other phases of life, there are a number
of insensitive RVers who, unfortunately, think nothing of ruining things
for all of their fellow RVers just because they think they are entitled
to something that is, in reality, an invitation, not an entitlement.

Janet, those abusers remind me of an all to often heard scenario in
court before I retired.  The judge would ask the young defendant just
why he took the bike out of the garage.  The perp would answer, "well
I wanted it and they weren't using it...besides they are rich and can
buy another one."

No Dave! As usual you have it completely wrong. You get filtered quite
simply because people can't stand your sanctimonious asinine arrogant
assertions, that your beliefs are always right and they are wrong.

I'm relatively new to this group and I sometimes disagree with Dave but,
for the most part,  I think Dave's posts and advice are Christian,
giving and positive while I think the response from his little cadre of
detractors is Satanic, self-serving and evil. I think thou doest protest
so much because Dave has his finger on your innate hypocrisy and
outright evil intent.

We need more Daves and fewer hyphenated named arseholes.  Dave's on
topic and you aren't. Dave's civil and you're uncivil. Dave's going to
heaven and you're headed for hell. Lucifer has you in his grip. Enjoy

Talk is cheap and worth about as much. I think there's lots of lurkers
who don't post and who don't have small minds and who don't hide behind
kill files and brag about their closed-mindedness. Your concluding that
people only post to be answered shows your heathen proclivities. Your
hedonism. Your arrogance. Well, let me tell you something. I bet there
are way more people who read Dave's posts and agree with his beliefs
than with people like you and Ms Hyphenated who don't believe in nothing
but sacrilege.

I happen to agree with Dave when it comes to the Creator. It's stupid
not to believe. It's not logical. You gain everything simply by
believing. You lose everything by not believing. Ya gotta be stupid or a
disciple of Lucifer to choose not to believe. To choose death over life.

I should imagine you are quite possibly new to the internet too if you've

the many guises he uses to post under:-

There's no hypocrisy there, I would only be being hypocritical if I really
agreed with Dave, which I most certainly do not.

So Dave has told me, many times, but I'm afraid I don't believe in a concept
of heaven and hell, and I particularly don't believe in Dave's main concept
of using religion as a crutch to get out of responsibility here and now.

You call it brainwashing because the devil speaks with your mouth. I
know that deep in the recesses of your brain there's still a dormant
cell or two that has doubts about your rabid anti-Christian stance.
There's gotta be. Why don't you stop with the absolute disbelief. Ask
yourself why, while you criticize others for absolute belief, you engage
in absolute disbelief. Which is the more sane?

There is too hypocrisy. Anybody who claims to know it all is a
hypocrite. You claim to know there is no God and say Christians are
ignorant fools. Only a hypocrite can believe he is omnipotent while
denying omnipotency exists. If you don't see this point then you are a
fool as well.

>> We need more Daves and fewer hyphenated named arseholes.  >
>
> Jealous because you don't have a hyphen in your name?

Not at all. The hyphen only tells me you're too wishy-washy to even
chose a name for yourself. You have to list two. You seem to think
straddling the fence on the one hand and then believing you are
omnipotent on the other is not another example still of your hypocrisy.

>>Dave's on > topic and you aren't. Dave's civil and you're uncivil. >

I've never seen him post uncivil stuff here. Please point me to a post
of his here that's uncivil, if you'd be so kind.

It doesn't matter what you believe as far as your belief in Heaven and
Hell. Those things exist in spite of your beliefs. But the really kewl
thing is you've been given the ability to choose which one is for you.
As for religion being a crutch you can use to get out of responsiblility
here and now, nothing could be further from the truth. Your saying such
a thing tells me you have a complete lack of understanding of the
Christian religion. You display your ignorance of the subject on the one
hand and on the other you act like an authority on it. More hypocrisy.

That's quite amazing; an imaginary being speaking with somebody else's

Hi Shad,  it's Reality Check Time

Worlds Cycling ITT last week was in Stuttgart, Germany.

Results - easily available by a web search.

Winner - Cancellera - 56.33 min.

Fastest American - Zabriskie - 57.55  (12th place)
Next American - McCartney - 58.24

Your own time of  57 mins means you beat both
of the US cyclists.

But it also means you're not an American.

My time trials bikes probably cost more than your double-wide. Freakin'
trailer park trash, no doubt about it.

He is all hat and no herd.  If he was real, he would give his name.  I
know a couple people who have connections to big time trike racing.

Phoney on all fronts.

You two are sooooo lame!  Trike racing, Huffy's and imagined virility.
What's with that? But, don't get me wrong, it's OK with me. While I'm
out there scorching the macadam with the other Elites, you two weenies
can keep snacking on pork rinds while watching us real athletes on the
tube.

It means Ramsey posted bogus information and you fell for it lock, stock
and beer belly. This 'kid' is a podium threat on most any TT course.
"Elite Men" can't be kids, ya dork.

I am too an American. I am the omega and the alpha. I don't know where
you got your times but they ain't right. Probably did a crummy web
search. Here's the correct info, man.

Fabian's  time was 55m41s.  I was 2m13s behind that. So my time was
57m54s

So, I failed to mention the seconds. Big deal. I was thinking minutes.
Fabian 55 and me 57. So shoot me!

So you're really, being the top-finishing American,
David Zabriskie.

I'm afraid you've fallen on hard times, Dave.

You used to run 2nd to Fabian Cancellara. He's
still 1st and now you're 12th.

[Is that why you failed to mention the seconds?]

Maybe you're spending too much time bitching on alt.rv
and not enough time on training rides.

Reality Check, Shad.

The real Dave Zabriskie has an offical web page,
with people to manage it.

That's what worldclass cyclists do.

I've had a bit of a setback this year with tendonitis in my surgically
repaired knee but I've still got some good years left. Ya can't win
every race. And even 12th at the worlds isn't anything to be ashamed of.
But, it wasn't one of my better days. My head just wasn't in it for some
reason.

> You used to run 2nd to Fabian Cancellara. He's

One race, you twit. I've beat Fabian already and I'll beat him again.

I train according to what's best for me. There's such a thing as too
much training, ya know.

Jealous?

> That's what worldclass cyclists do.

One must keep the fans happy. Did you know my videos on Velonews during
the TDF were watched by more fans than anybody but Chris Horner? People
were really disappointed when I had to drop out because of my knee.

Given the times posted for Stuttgart ITT, your
assertion you are American, and your claim
to have been 2.13 mins behind Cancellara you could
only be David Zabriskie.

But you're not.

Here's what the real David Zabriskie says
on his official web page:

"First of all, I'd like everyone to know that
I am OK. I've received emails expressing concern
about my well being because I've failed to provide
my wonderful fans with news or updates. In truth,
I no longer travel with my computer. I find now
that when racing I just want to concentrate on
that and not waste time trying to find connections
to the Internet..."

Shad, you're merely a pathetic individual who
can only gain some sense of self-importance
by pretending to be somebody else.

How sad.

[quoted text clipped - 68 lines]
> that and not waste time trying to find connections
> to the Internet..."

In other words my fans expect too much of my time so I've got to
politely just say no to some of that constant demand. Oh, I don't mind
signing an autograph or shaking a hand at the races or an interview or
any of that kind of thing. That's part of racing. But, I've gotta have
some time to myself and family when the racing's done... It was a good
thing to say - about not carrying a laptop with me anymore. Fooled you
didn't it? Ha ha ha. Think about it. How the hell did ya think I wrote
that and managed to get it on my website without a computer? Sitting in
hotels gets boring. The computer passes the time but it's got to be fun
stuff and not just more of the grind. Understand?

Duh! I can say I don't carry my computer anymore, too much trouble, too
much distraction - that's all true but carrying a little ole laptop is
no real trouble. It's being expected to keep in touch every day with so
many people that's the problem. It makes something that was fun into a
hard job and I've already got a hard job. So I say I don't have my
computer but I DO have it for important stuff and for stuff like jerking
you idiots around.

Besides, racing is about over for this year, dude. Read what I read
again, dude! The last race I talk about is Paris-Nice. That was way back
at the beginning of the season. I wrote that stuff a long time ago. And
the Tour de Georgia - that was way, way long ago. Try to keep up. See,
that's the problem with fans, ya supposed to luv 'em and Lord knows you
want them and need them but fans are way needy most of the time. They'd
happily take up all my time if I let them. Can't have that. Gotta set
priorities - training and racing are top of the list.

As for Team CSC, haven't you heard I signed with Slipstream/Chipotle???
I guess I need to update my main page soon.

Think whatever you want. I couldn't care less about what you think. I'm
the man! You da camp follower. But keep following my stellar career. I
appreciate it. ;-)  If you follow pro cycle racing at all you're not all
bad.

Look at the site, Shad. It's professionally managed.  A phone call to
the managers is all that's needed.

BTW, you have also confirmed that you are
Zabriskie and that you lied to your fans.

So you're a self-confessed liar and you
want people to believe you?

More than a little dumb.
