Where there is zoning regarding where mobiles are allowed there is a very explicit description of what a mobile home is. An RV doesn't not fit those requirements.
Just saying do your homework before you buy anything. Contact the zoning board because a seller selling land will not always tell the buyer what is allowed or what is not allowed. Nor is he required to. Even if a seller disclosure is requested there is not a line for them to answer those type of questions. They might tell you they are grand fathered in but zoning is ever changing.
It is the buyers responsibility. Even the agent doesn't know or will tell you anything just to sell the property. Been there done that. Can't tell you how many accepted offers I had on property that when I went down to the country found out the my RV was not allowed. Even after both the seller and agent said it was.
Just saying what ever you find it would be in your best interest to go to the zoning board regarding the property you are interested in. Or as some have suggested go off the grid and see how long before you are caught.
Good luck I hope you find that perfect spot for your RV! :C
