One thing I would never do is to move into a place where there's a homeowners association (HOA). I have read horror stories of people who have bought property in a housing tract where the HOA levied fines, court orders and other harassing acts on people who have parked their RV on their own land.
If one is planning to park their RV on their own private property or having guests park theirs on it, there are a few things they should be mindful of. Fortunately for me, I live in an area where almost every resident has a recreational vehicle of some kind (trailer, motorhome, fifth wheel, truck camper, etc.) parked on their land.
RV Life has posted an article with six tips for RV parking on private property.
They begin it with:
Do you have a piece of land you’re considering parking your RV on? Perhaps a friend has invited you to park at their place, or maybe you just want to put your RV in your yard while your parents come to visit?
Whatever the case, it’s important that you know the ins and outs of RV parking on private property before you jump in.
From city rules to the regulations of homeowners associations (HOAs), there are rules you should be aware of when it comes to RV parking on private property. Additionally, there are things to consider that could affect where you park your RV, how long you leave it, and maybe even if you do it at all.
We aren’t saying all this to discourage you. In our opinion, the more you can use your RV, the better. However, it is a good idea to know these things going in rather than finding them out the hard way. That’s what this article is for.
