Well, that's not necessarily so. I think it incumbent on knowing the law wherever one intends to park their rig, before you automatically think it's giving rv'ers a bad name.
Where I reside there is a 24 hour limit for any vehicle to be parked, without moving it. It does no good for any one to try and bully someone from parking in a free parking zone that is doing it legally. During the ice storms of several weeks ago, there was an 18-wheeler legally parked in my neighborhood, that excepting for one icy night, moved every day.
When you have the law on your side it doesn't much matter what anyone thinks, is what I've learned.
Parking it in front of your home and moving it every 24 hrs. is a whole different situation then what OP is looking to do......especially in So. Cal unless it's Salton Sea or similar type of area.
I don't think you have a handle on the law, since you didn't follow that. Unless you know the law in any given parking jurisdiction, you're not getting it...
The law may allow 'parking' but very few places allow 'living' in an rv parked on the street as OP is considering doing (stealth camping)........especially S. Cal. which has local ordinances/laws that are pretty restrictive. Heck you can't even park a pickup truck in driveways. IT ain't TX.
Look, you don't know my neighborhood, Texas, or where I have parked legally. You're still reading things into the OP's post that do not exist. He never said anything about living in front of anybody's home. Please, go back and re-read it. I responded to what the law says, not what you want the law to say. I've been over this with my first post here - when I told of some guy that came up to my RV, rapped on the door, then tried to tell me I couldn't park on a public street, and I had to tell him to get away from my RV and I locked the door on him. I almost had to call 9-1-1 on his threatening behaviors and verbal threats. Don't be that guy.....you could be the one getting arrested. You just can't bully people from parking where it is 100% legal to park - regardless what you think. Just leave well enough alone, I guarantee you the law holds more weight than you telling people where to not park.
