RV Overnight Parking: Home Depot Risks and Safer Alternatives
Original source: SlashGear

Parking RVs overnight in big-box store lots like Home Depot is a common cost-saving measure, but it carries risks as policies vary by location and are not officially sanctioned. More reliable options include rest stops with specific time limits, memberships to services like Harvest Hosts, or calling stores like Cracker Barrel ahead for permission. Ultimately, avoiding towing and legal issues requires checking local regulations and store policies before parking.
