RV TRAVELS bought us to a PLACE we NEVER Wanted to Stay & was it SAFE?

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Have you stayed at Walmart before? What did you think? Thanks for watching - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

[@moxymaxx5350]

@@ChasingOurSunshine we did and we drive off with our slide out and ran over our dogs dish!! Never a dull moment and we're far from full time. Yikes! No problem that time at WM.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Yikes, and RVing is never dull for sure! We are glad our stay was a good one at Walmart! Enjoy the rest of summer here in Wisconsin!

[@mollyjackson5731]

You did great not having to stay in a Walmart after all this time. Glad it was a good stop and did look like a better Walmart.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

thanks- It wasn't as bad as we thought it would be!

[@stuwardw]

Never stayed at a Walmart before. Usually, we find a harvest host in a pinch, but you gave us some confidence. Fun video as always, thank you!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

It took us 3 years of full-timing before staying in a Walmart! We normally do a Harvest Host or Cracker Barrel for overnight stays, however, there were zero in the area, so Walmart it was. It wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. It is a tool for RVers and we would stay again if needed. Glad we could give you some confidence if you have to stay at a Walmart!

[@AndrewJohnson149]

Sorry you guys were forced to change plans but it shows us real life on the road. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. ❤

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We appreciated the thoughts and prayers, as it is not easy losing love ones. The nice thing in RV life is you can change plans and do what is needed at the time. thanks

[@RickandDarcirvadventures]

We have only stayed at one Walmart before. It was in Mountain Home, Idaho and it was our first trip ever. The main reason we stayed there is because ALL of the Rv parks were booked because of all of the people evacuating from The massive wildfires in Oregon in 2020. It was cool because we needed to shop anyway and it was quiet. Went to bed and the parking lot was almost empty and woke up with a lot of rv’s in the parking lot.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We really didn't want to have to stay at one, but it did work out and not so bad! Glad your experience was a good one too! Thanks guys

[@thomastheys6681]

Great film super entertaining love the bed scene with Maya. Hope to see you guys, possibly at FMCA in Oregon. ?? thomyt

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@thomastheys6681 Thanks! Maya is our superstar! We wish we could go to the FMCA rally, but not going to be in the area. We should see you at the Balloon Fest!

[@AWOLlcdrpeterson]

We have not Wally Docked (yet), and are not planning to, but understand sometimes that what you need to do. We love Buffalo Wild Wings and stop anytime we are close to one. Love the Tuesday BOGO special.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@AWOLlcdrpeterson We were hoping not to have to, but it was at least a nice Walmart! And the bonus with the BWW right there & we even said Nick would be mad we weren't there on a Tuesday! 😆

[@AWOLlcdrpeterson]

@@ChasingOurSunshine Awesome! Love BWW's Long Island Ice Tea!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@AWOLlcdrpeterson We think 🤔 we knew that too! 😆

[@thisisouradventure]

We have definitely done our share of Walmart stays.. for the most part they have been good. Also convenient for those last minute items which we always seem to need .lol

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We never wanted to stay in one but it wasn't bad. We would do it again if needed to.

[@RVAmerica]

At walmarts, in Canada that we saw this past summer.The people would literally be set up and sitting out having drinks together. Chairs tables and everything. Lynn and Danny

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@RVAmerica Wow! Like it's a real campsite!! Hope they enjoyed it! 😆

[@moxymaxx5350]

Very sorry to hear about your friend's death. We never make reservations ahead of time for big trips. We've considered ourselves lucky. Call one day ahead of time. Never had a problem. Waiting to hear about Alaska trip!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@moxymaxx5350 Wow! We have reservations in place until February right now! And we are going to Alaska in 2025 now.

[@jdroberts3363]

After 2 years of full timing we haven’t done a Walmart overnight yet, but we do have a Love’s Campground scheduled later this month for the first time 🤞

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@jdroberts3363 It took us three years of full-time to end up in a Walmart! 😆 - We did a Loves in Texas and we are not in love with Loves! Expensive & super loud with Interstate & Truck noise. On I40 in Texas. Good luck

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

Can’t believe you guys made it this long without having to resort to a Walmart parking lot. We haven’t stayed at a ton, but we have stayed in somewhere between 5-8. They are noisy and bright with all the lights. But we’ve only been nervous once about feeling safe. It is definitely a last resort. 😂

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We were hoping not to have to, but it did work out and not to bad! Running in and get breakfast in the morning was nice.

[@ourrvsunsets]

Hahahaha!!! Detour a mile out. I'm so glad that we're not the only ones that happens too!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We just wanted to get there and nope 🙅 😂- detour! Figures after a long day & Walmart 😂

[@campinwiththeconfers]

We have not stayed at a Walmart but we have stayed at a Cracker Barrel. It worked out ok. We would stay at Walmart if we needed to. We usually HH for quick overnights.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

We looked for a HH or a Cracker Barrel and there were zero in the area! Those are our go to's for one night stays too! This wasn't as bad as we thought and surprisingly it took us 3 years full-time before having a Walmart stay!

[@witz224]

Does Maya sleep in the same bed as you both ? Our 2 dogs do. It’s nice but sometimes we have to put them in another room if you know what I mean ! lol .. Next time travel through the lake of the ozarks in the summer time, a lot of good bars and have to check out party cove. Have to meet up next time your in the Des Moines area.. Happy Travels !

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@witz224 Maya crawls in bed with us and the second Joel puts his CPAP on she goes to the floor!! 😆 then around 5:30 am she comes barreling up and went under the covers & head down under them by our feet. But we wake up to her with her head taking up half of the pillow and snoring! 😆 We want to spend more time in the Lake of the Ozarks- we only got two nights there and not enough time. Thanks

[@witz224]

So funny are kids ( dogs ) do the same, under the covers by our feet.

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@witz224 haha! It is so weird - but guess they are comfortable! Cause that is what matters & make room 🐕😆💙

[@davidmeeks9305]

How long can you leave your dog in the RV while out on excursions?

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

@@davidmeeks9305 Maya can be good for 8 hours, but we don't like to do that and normally only do 4 hours at the most.
