Yesterday I received a text from another driver saying that Walmart has banned all over night stays. All types of vehicles including, Trucks,Van, RVs. My first trip out in 2 weeks..If anything what are you seeing?
(I haven't found anything new online about a statement from Walmart yet.)

your bud may have just come across a store that recently had a policy change....individual Walmarts can set thier own policy with parking when it comes to customer inconvenience and upkeep..but nothing on my end....

I'm back in service with a entire new roof. This time I went steel and a fabricated door header that is sure to do damage to the next lift truck/freight that hits it. Unlike that thin steel alumi-bunk used for a header.
Hoping the steel roof takes a hit a bit better then that translucent/plastic roof did. Roof replacement paid in full by the shippers insurance and now waiting on them to pick apart my lost revenue claim. All things considered, I was real happy with the repairs and the way the shippers insurance handled it. So Im hoping the lost revenue claim goes just as good.
1 drawback is I will now need to maintain the lights inside the freight box as its dark as he** in there. They haven't worked in nearly 2 years as I got tired of climbing up there to change light bulbs.

I figure it has a lot to do with what a given store's city/township/etc allows...

That's a good idea. Wish I would have had the repair shop include those instead of salvaging the old ones. But at this point and considering how many 1156 light bulbs I have in my collection, I won't invest in new light receptacles.

Kinda what I thought or maybe it was due to the fact he runs straight pipes on his straight truck and was asked to move along.. :D
