- I plan on putting down the tongue jack on a pad just to relieve pressure on the rear axle of the truck, etc. for the nite.
- Probably put down the rear two stabilizer jacks in the rear - again on pads
- Going to try to rig up a camera to point out of the rear window of the truck (has IR, etc.) just to catch anything that might happen, etc.
I'm traveling with the wife and 3 young granddaughters (one reason for Walmart - walk around and occupy them somewhat).
Any other ideas from those who "been there, done that"? This is just a one-niter, not dry camping at a CG or anything like that.

First, no generators at Wmart
Second, no jacks down.
Third, wife and 3 small gkids. Find a campground before you ruin it for the rest of us.
Kansas in the summer, you need air, campground somewhere.
We have used a wmart a time or two. If there was a guy running his Quite Genny, I would politely ask him to shut it down. Wmart is not a boondock place, it is a parking lot and Wmart allows overnite parking. A genny running is CAMPING.
Folks like you are what ruins it for the rest of us that want to PARK OVERNIGHT, not boondock or camp overnight in a parking lot.
There is difference in overnite parking and camping.
