We have used the Walmart parking lot many times, usually after 8PM. I use the smart phone to locate one near, I call the store and ask for the manager, I ask if they are accepting of having MH's stay in their parking lot overnight and it so where they want me to park. Never been refused. If you pull in earlier there might be an issue, just ask. Have always felt safe due to lighting, and usual see security guards.

I always find this discussion interesting. I must say I watch the instant MPG, when it's not on cruise control, I use it about half the time. I do know that not using cruise control does imporve my mileage a "little". I have a 2013 Knight 40df, 9.3L 350HP International, weighs approx 33,000lbs, I've yet to weigh it when it's loader, fuel, water, etc. I tow a Tahoe, 5500 lbs. I just did a 5500 mile trip from panhandle Fl to St Mary Montana and back. Everything went and worked great. Loved it. Lots of mountaines, I usually cruise at 62-65MPH. Tach reads 1500RPM at 65MPH, sweet spot is 1300-1400RPMs. Mileage was ranging between fill-ups from 7+ to 8.7+, never averaged less than 7+MPG between fill ups. So far I'm very happy with the performance. I hate to say it, but when I'm not towing and AC is off, on flat country, I have gotten 10MPG on the highway, no kidding. AC seems to reduce by maybe 0.5MPG and towing the 5,500, seems to be 0.5-1MPG depending on the roads and mountains. Mostly it's about the mountains, 7 in mountains and 8+ otherwise, towing with the AC on.
