I was wondering what was meant by "pubic" parking lot. Walmart is very camper friendly, for instance, they know where you are going to spend your money.
Generally, police seem to honor the idea that the cab of a motor home is searchable in the same manner that the "lunge area" of a car is, but respect the notion that the area 'back of the line' of the motor home or bus, is a home, and if one has the bluster to stick to that, they should have to have a warrant. Any old hippy should be able to argue this.
Folks I know generally feel it is worth one parent sacrificing some freedom for "obstruction" or whatever while the other gets the children out of harm's way and over the nearest border. Seen too many foster kids to feel that it is a good system, or even acceptable compared to the home left behind.

That's a rough one. ; )

The parking lot issue was a sidelight, IMO, the police were given permission to enter the motorhome.
