RV habits you are doing that are illegal!

Video Description

RV habits you are doing that are illegal! RV life feels free—until you realize some of your everyday habits are actually against the law. Things as simple as parking overnight in the wrong lot, running your generator too late, or even leaving a propane line open while driving can lead to hefty fines, police at your door, or your entire rig being towed away. And the worst part? Most RVers don’t even know they’re breaking the rules. Imagine pulling into what looks like a safe parking spot… only to wake up with a ticket on your windshield. Or dumping what seems like harmless grey water—then learning it’s a violation that could cost you thousands. From little slip-ups to shocking federal regulations, we’re counting down 14 illegal RV habits you might be doing right now. And number one? It’s so unexpected, it’s already gotten RVers into real legal trouble. — At number 14, we’ve got a habit almost every RVer has tried at least once: spending the night in a store parking lot. It feels simple, harmless, even convenient. Pull in, park, rest for free, and roll out in the morning. After all, RVers have been doing it for decades—especially at Walmart. But here’s the truth: just because it looks allowed doesn’t mean it’s legal. Many cities have passed ordinances specifically banning overnight RV parking on commercial lots, even when the store itself doesn’t mind. And the penalties can be steep. Picture this—you wake up after a “quiet” night of sleep to flashing lights, a ticket on your windshield, or even worse, a tow truck hooking up your RV. Suddenly, your “free stay” costs hundreds. And here’s the kicker: it’s not just Walmart. Home Depot, Cracker Barrel, Cabela’s—some locations welcome RVers, while others strictly enforce no-parking rules. It all depends on local law. The solution? Always call ahead. Ask the manager. And more importantly, check the city ordinances before you park. Because ignorance won’t save you if the police come knocking. That free night’s rest? It could end with a fine, embarrassment, and a ruined trip. And if you thought that was bad, wait until you hear about the next mistake—because it’s not about where you park, but when you fire up your generator. — ----- Everything we share here reflects our personal opinions and perspectives on financial topics.
