Well I would not normally complain but a 40 foot RV parked across the street from my house I would complain, that's why I bought a larger lot with RV parking, a small boat or small trailer might be OK but a 40 footer, that takes up a lot of parking spaces for cars..
They have storage yards for RV's or just buy a home with RV parking.
Why should anyone complain IF it was parked in front of the owners house and there were no signs prohibiting such..
On my street for example there are no sidewalks and room to park cars is only on one side of the street..
so many people having several cars park on the street also,,why should RV be any different as long as no one lives in it?
More than likely because a 40' long by 8'+ wide box sitting on the street can be a traffic hazard! most cars and even pickups are only 6' wide.
The street in front of your house is NOT your property, it is a city street, city gets to set the rules.
If you don't have space on your property to park your 40' RV, find a storage yard, and do like the rest of us an pay to store it. If you can afford a 40' diesel pusher, you should be able to afford a space to park it.
The OP stated it was parked in front of his house "Between trips", sorry I am an RVer, but I find storing an RV on the street a bit of a traffic hazard, and an eye sore, even a very nice 40' diesel pusher!
I live in a townhouse, an end unit I can fit the unit on my property, but tend to check with the neighbors first, only keep it over night
I guess I don't understand why people it is their right, to park their RV on city property 24/7 for weeks or months at a time.
What if a neighbor was a logger, and parked their log truck with a self loader on the street all the time?
just because it is in front of your house it is still on public property.
I think it is one of those "it is all about me" things, if you don't like what I do tough sh**.
Sorry, try looking at it from the other side of the street, as a non RVer.
