In Portland, you may find it is illegal to live in your RV.
Is that true?
I think he meant it's illegal to live in your RV - while parked on city streets.
Staying in a RV park is just fine.
:) Sometimes it is easier to gain forgiveness than permission.
When I was on the road full time I did, a few times, find myself having trouble finding a suitable spot for a few nights. In those circumstances I may have spent a night or two staying someplace that I was not supposed to. In those circumstances I tried very hard to be inconspicuous. I may have even spent 4 nights in the tour bus parking at Union Station in DC.
If I ever stayed in a questionable spot I was ready to move at a moments notice and, if asked to move, never argued. "I am so sorry. I thought it would be OK for me to stop here. I apologize for any inconvenience. I will leave immediately."
If you are neat, quiet and low key folks are generally tolerant.
Have fun!
Edit: I missed the post where you said that it would be a regular job in one location. One option that I stumbled upon when I couldn't find an appropriate RV park when needed I found that a number of manufactured home communities/trailer parks will rent spaces by the month to RV'ers. I stayed at one in Lubbock, TX for about 3 months.
In the area that I live now there are a number of lots that have water power and septic that are rented by the month. I have several neighbors that live on rented lots. The folks that own them generally advertise on Craigslist.
