When I was temporarily homeless during my divorce I had my car towed (broke down) to a Walmart parking lot in a nice area. They tow truck driver suggested he park it underneath a tree, so I said OK. After about a week I was noticed, so somehow, and I don’t remember how but I got the number of the man that actually owned the Walmart parking lot I called him told him my story and he told me I could stay there for a month. I had a few policeman come by a few times, and I told them that I had permission from the man that literally owned the parking lot. They didn’t seem very happy about that because it was a “nice area” and there I was a homeless woman was living out of her SUV there. I had no choice. One policeman was so nice though. And after a month I had the suv moved. I wish I could tell the man thank you. I could write a book. Blessings to all who are living in their vehicles.

I sleep in my car in a Walmart parking lot 3-4 nights a week and I see many other vehicle dwellers staying overnight as well and security circles the parking lot throughout the night and I’ve never had an issue. Walmart closes pretty late and opens really early and there are employees working in the store overnight so they all park in the parking lot too. Walmart parking lots make me feel the safest

More Walmart stores used to stay open 24 hours, before the pandemic. They carry pretty decent camping gear (gadgets), food, water, little propane bottles, automotive supplies and have regularly cleaned restrooms. Where else can you find all that in one stop? Definitely a safe and welcome respite when vehicle-camping. I've stayed overnight in many Walmart parking lots when traveling, especially during bad stormy weather.

@@islandguy9380 this is the feedback that should be posted, not just the "you've been warned" scare tactic. Tragically, your experience is accurate, but unavoidable for more and more people. Also, there's a fine line between publicly sharing the hardships of dwelling in a vehicle, and staying positive about an alternative lifestyle that is frowned upon by society. Some people call it 'making the best of a tough situation'. Some people will never get ok with having to live in a car/truck/van by force. Those who have a choice are easy to distinguish between those who don't. No one is being fooled into ruining their life.

I'm not sure if there are Cabela's/Bass Pro Shops in your region, but they are flexible about people traveling using their parking lot overnight. I worked at the store in Augusta, GA for almost 4yrs and people with campers/RV's would ask to use it. The manager always said yes, just park at the end of the lot. So customers had the spaces closer to the store. A lot of times people parked, walked their dogs and shopped. I watch one channel regularly and the young man who has a car, uses a Walmart every night. He's pretty organized too. Your van is so cute, I really love the way you decorated it. The spice rack, books, the curtains and lights. I would gladly live in your van.

We stayed in a Cabelas parking lot during the recent heatwave. They were very friendly, easy to get a 'permission slip' for free camping (just so they know who is there...the website for each store says if that store allows overnight parking: "RV friendly"). They had no problem with us and our 2 dogs wandering the store then finding their camp chairs display and 'testing out' camp chairs in the air conditioned store until it cooled down outside. Very interesting place with the animal displays and huge gamefish tank. We had a nice night, except for the truck emptying the big trash bin nearby early in the morning, but hey, it's free.

​@@justrowanjust passing through today and it's amazing all these solo nomad women all ages living on the road. I did it with my Honda car for 4 months and do know what it is like. I had sold my farm in Tennessee Smoky Mountains but had no new bought home to move into. I had furniture in storage and searched on the road for another home. I'm interested in hostessing at my place on the Ozarks which had good spots for an RV or van. I see some nice folks like yourself on YT but it is hard to connect.

I have a projector for my van and if you have an Iphone, you might need this adapter “Apple Lightning to Digital AV Adapter” like I did and then it’ll allow you to watch streaming channels f rom your phone. My projector came with the same mesh screen like yours so we might have similar ones. I love your new van! I enjoy staying at Walmarts when there’s nothing else scenic around. Usually there’s other motorhomes and semi’s, so it makes me feel safe to know there’s others near me. Safe travels! Thank you for welcoming us into your van life. It’s very relaxing and entertaining.

I just ordered one of those screens! I have to go through thousands of old slides (my parents') before I can sell the house and go traveling. I had no idea they made them. When I am ready to travel, I can use it in my SUV!

I was thinking about you several times recenty- because of my birthday falling in strawberry season, I have always tended to be a strawberry b'day girl and this year, we made strawberry ice cream AND strawberry shortcake (and I bought strawberry milk) AND i ran into a woman at the grocery store in a Strawberry Shortcake t-shirt. All the strawbs reminded me of Rowan and Ruby!

I so enjoy watching your channel. Not only do you teach me a lot about how to live simply on the road, but your voice & demeanor is so soothing while you show your daily activities. Sweet Ruby is the cherry on top 🍒 😊 Also, Ruby reached out to touch your leg at 24:30 ish 🥹She’s the best little friend.

I can assure you that Walmart will not wake you in the middle of the night simply bcuz they r not open 24hrs. But they won't hesitate to rap on your door 1st thing in the morning. The one I stay at in fed.way wa also marks your tires. Keep up the good work, we luv your vids!

I really enjoy watching your videos, especially since you got Ruby. Just please make sure she gets enough exercise. Long walks n learning to play fetch n maybe frisbee. On line you can learn how to teach her different tricks. That learning really stimulates their mind which in turn tires them out. Also sniffing outdoors will fulfill her needs n tire her out. They say 5 minutes of sniffing equals a 15 minute walk She's a beautiful dog. Enjoy enjoy. God bless you both 🙏❤️
