I came across a kind-of beat-up looking Toyota RV a few hours ago. Sitting in a Walmart parking lot with a flat tire. Middle of sunny day, all windows wide open, but no one seemed to be there. So I got out of my truck to take a few photos and yelled "anybody home" at the same time. Well? There WAS someone inside. Seems a very unfriendly guy from Tennessee. Note this wasn't in some remote area of the parking lot. It was right in front of the main entrance so I did not think the users/owners were seeking any sort of privacy. After getting what sounded like a very unfriendly reply to my "anybody home", I asked the guy if he knew he had a flat tire. Silly me. I thought he may have parked there to sleep and didn't know the tire went flat. He said "yes, I know, I know what I'm doing, and I do NOT need any help." I then asked him if he was planning on having the flat fixed at Walmart and he got even more angry and said "why do YOU want to know." OK, I gave up trying to ask questions or have any conversation. I had asked about Walmart because I know they do NOT have the know-how to fix a flat on a Toyota RV or even replace a tire or a valve. Not at THIS Walmart. My shop is only a mile from this guy (with many good mounted 6 lug tire and wheels) and there is also a good tire store who CAN work on Toyotas just 2 miles away. But I gave up and left. This guy REALLY had a rod up his a**. Felt like being back in New York instead of here in northern Michigan. Note the interesting tire-valve-extensions on the duallies in back. Got passenger-car tires on it, i.e. less the the C-range tires it came with new. spare tire was on the roof. This is only the 2nd New World Toyota RV I've ever seen. Seem to be pretty rare (if I'm right and it IS a New World).
