There are a few people who live in vans and pickup trucks and one guy with a small camper-van in the Walmart parking lot, they move around a bit. One time I got some sanitizer wipes from the Freeosk machine inside and gave the package to one of the women who lives in her pickup truck.
As long as they are respectful and don't try knocking on my window or stopping traffic when the light turns green, I have no problem with them being there. Mostly I'm grateful they're not like the "window washers" off the highway in NYC. They're nasty.

Window washers ARE really nasty - I have seen them in every large or medium-sized city that I have been to.
......I am very glad that you have had GOOD experiences with homeless people. Some are wonderful and if I were homeless, and could afford an RV, I would stay at Walmarts or other mall areas. In point of fact, I do stay in my compact car when I treat myself to motorized vacations to explore the US 1st hand and up close and personal. I also take naps on blankets in a public park during daylight hours - I only have to watch out for those male dogs that lift their legs.
.......As I wrote on Pg 7 # 99 - I have had a mixed bag of early adult experiences with homeless people. But, strangely enough, I have had MUCH worse luck dealing with people that attend church regularly, which may be a compensation thing, as the psychologists believe. Compared to them - the homeless are angels.
