Hard to find a full-time spot

In Lancaster county pennsylvania I was full timing in my 35' Fifth wheel for about 3 years like 4 years ago. Recently I was looking for a campground/RV park and I found out that the townships have put a stop to people who live full-time in their rv's. I found that to be a bit on the discrimination side. So I'm just looking for some input from full timers if they've run into the same problem. I'm willing to hear from anyone that can help me out. I'm not looking to file a discrimination suit or anything like that. I'm just looking for some replies that may help me.
Thank you

  • If I were staying in the same location it sure would not be in my RV. I thought the definition of full timing was living in the RV but moving it from time to time to a new location.
  • WA has a rule that a recreational vehicle, trailers included, cannot stay in the same spot for more than 180 days if occupied.
  • I don't fulltime. In my opinion what you are experiencing is really no different than municipalities passing laws against overnighting at Wal-Mart or other business parking lots. It's private property but they can still regulate activities on the property.

    I don't think a discrimination lawsuit would work. But I'm not a lawyer either. :)

    Did you check CG's in surrounding townships?
  • “I found out that the townships have put a stop to people who live full-time in their rv's.”

    Cities, counties, townships zone out certain uses all the time and have forever. No apartments, no businesses, not over 35 feet in height etc. If it is your township, advocate! If it isn’t your township, it is their decision.
