The Antioch Press in Antioch, California reports on the controversy over rules concerning the storage and parking of RVs and boats.
The City Council had proposed citations to RV and Boat owners who leave their vehicles in sight for over 30 days at a time. City codes prohibit such storage, but were rarely enforced.
When the city council planned a “clean sweep” of such violations, RV and Boat owners expressed their opposition because of the financial burden of off-site storage.
What is the solution? Leave a comment and tell us what you think.

On one side I can understand residents of many cities when you drive through an area full of unkempt RVs. On the otherside I am sympathetic to RV owners who do not have enough space to store their RV “Out of site or sight”. I am an RV owner. My property is 65 feet wide by 140 feet deep. My RV will be stored under a canvas carport alongside my home when not in use. It and the carport will be properly maintained in good (and clean) condition so that it does not become an eyesore.
WE RV owners have a responsibility to protect our rights but also protect our neighborhoods and cities. While zoning laws are necessary, not everyone can afford a specialized rental storage space. Many RV owners are on fixed incomes.
Protect your rights, but also protect yourselves against those who would further restrict them by keeping your property and RV attractive, not a nuisance, to others.

Being in the RV biz I wish I had a dollar for every person that have bought their first RV and bought the most expensive one that their budget could afford but did not consider the upkeep into said purchase and now struggle to take care of it properly.
