About a year ago or so the Wall Street Journal ran an article about WalMart encouraging RVs to park in their lots.  I once met a German guy staying in my local Wal-Mart's lot (spoke no English) who had brought his Vanagon over here to travel the US, Canada and Mexico; I live near the route to Yosemite which is where he was heading the next day.  Got his film developed; showed me pictures of other buses and Vanagons he had photographed in Mexico; and bought a bunch of other supplies at WalMart, so I guess it's a great marketing strategy.  Guy was from Duisburg (I think that's in the Ruhr) and he was quite excited about my van's Wolfsburg crest.  I was really jealous of the guy because he had a turbodiesel; his camper conversion was odd looking and not Westfalia.

Are you serious?  That's a brilliant marketing ploy.  I had no idea.
Are there any official advertisements or signs to that effect?
My own ignorance never ceases to amaze me.
