RE: where does your town make you park your pop up??

Legally and what you do are sometimes 2 different things.  So I d rather not say.  We have had too many people called for other things.
 
 Our neighbor behind us has called the Board of Health (4-5 times a year) because we have 5 dogs, and recently the police because our small car hangs over the sidewalk because we keep the camper in the driveway and put the small car in the driveway as we cannot leave a car parked on the street for more than 48hrs or it will be ticketed and towed.  I m sure the camper will be next on her hit list.

We have to use a storage lot to keep ours.  Our Home Owners Association won t allow campers, boats, any vehicles with any type of company name, vehicles over a certain size, etc. in site at all. We live in townhouses with no garage...so...we have to pay to store it.  I would love to be able to have it at home to play with when ever I wanted!

I pulled the PU into the back yard but now I need to finish the privacy fence. Technically it has to be parked on concrete, but since my neighbor has a car parked in his back yard (behind a fence) I m not too worried. My brother did have to move his boat from his backyard after the neighbors called and he even had an alley access to his back yard and a gravel driveway back there.

I park my PU anywhere I can find a level enough spot to put it. They don't call WV the mountain state for nothing. I feel sorry for all of you. Just another reason I don't want to ever live in town. In my opinion if you own a piece of property you should be able to do with it what ever you want, without anyone telling you what you can do and can't do. Don't get me wrong if you have an eye sore or a danger to public saftey that's another matter. VJM if your homeowners assosiation will not allow a vehicle with a company name, what would residents do if an employer provided them a company vehicle with the companies logo on it?:confused:  Ok I'm done ranting.

as738... they actually have to either rent a parking space somewhere else (there are vehicles of this type where we park our camper) or store it in a garage. None are allowed in the open areas.  And...it's not as easy as some say to "move elsewhere" . The vast majority of neighborhoods in the DC Metro area (Northern Virginia, DC, Maryland) are all the same!

As long as it isn't in the road or on someone else's property, we can keep it anywhere we want.

[forestwalker]

We can park it anywhere we want to here in Santa Cruz,Ca. Cant park on the street at our house located in Show Low,Az.

Wow!  I've been too busy to check this site for a while - probably been 2 months.  Anyway... just a few changes!!  I'm not sure what happened while I was gone!!??

Anyway! We park our PU in the driveway during the summer, but put it in the backyard in the winter so I can put my car in the garage.  It's kind of a pain in the summer to block up the driveway, but we live on a BIG hill and the driveway is the most level spot we have to work with.

We are in a townhome, and our association is pretty particular about parking RVs.  And, just my luck, I have an association board member directly accross the street.  

We are not allowed to part our RV anywhere where it may be visible to anyone at anytime.  Same goes for our kids.  They dont want to hear or see them anywhere in the neighborhood. They recently took down the "Caution, Children at Play - Drive Carefully" sign at the entrance to our complex because they felt the sign might encourage children to play in the complex. They would really prefer we sell the PU, adopt out our children, and trade in our blue curtains for white ones. So much for land of the free!

We were keeping the PU in the garage, but recently I bit the bullet and rented a space for it in nearby Irvine.  (there are no storage faciities in our town.)  $70 per month. geez.  

Now we can use the garage for all kinds of association-prohibited activities!

[midwest_camper]

We kept ours in the garage the last two years but now we have rented a storage area. This storage area allows us access anytime. The reason we didn't store it before was that the storage places that were close only allowed you to take your camper out in the spring and we usually like to go camping down south during the kids spring break in March. It's nice not having it in the garage or the driveway. But in our town you're not allowed to park a RV on the street.

in the next state!  we have a seasonal site in sussex nj

[Miller Tyme]

Right now, it sits next to the garage. We rent, but the garage is still full of the landlord's junk, we're waiting for him to move it out.:rolleyes:

 
No restrictions as to parking-the advantage of living in a small town.:W

[angelsmom10]

This article was in our local paper this morning -- this is a suburb of Cincinnati.  I wanted to share here and also am starting a new topic as this is only a poll and I think the suburb could find better things to do with their resources and time.

Our neighborhood is older, so we don't have restrictions.  Our town is also unincorporated, so we don't get stuck with all the limitations of the nearby towns.  They have yet to show us a single thing they got from this "benefit", yet I can show them a list of what they've lost.     Yep, we have police, fire, and medical, just like them.

My camper sits on my side lot, under an awning: http://2manytoyz.com/camp/mods/awning.jpg

That's next to my utility trailer and shed.  Other nearby neighborhoods prohibit any of this.  Good for them.  Their neighborhoods do stay tidy, but I'd rather have the full use of MY yard!

My neighbors own boats, a horse trailer, campers, etc.  Everyone maintains their yards, and I don't know of anyone in my neighborhood with a heap parked in their yard.

I'd be fighting the ruling from the previous post.
