You got to love it when someone from outside your community comes in to visit, doesn’t like the laws that the community voted for, then causes a big stink about it and leaves.

Wut???

:B

I have to disagree.
When law can be subject to interpretation, it can't be converted into personal opinions.
As often on this forum, I have to ask myself "Why would honest member insist on misleading others?"

Thread is turning into a pissing match. Different opinions are ok, but dear God, not everyone will agree. To the OP, Kayteg has a problem letting anything die...don't fall for it. Just let it go

I think you are deliberately misleading the members.
When I can sympathise with you staying at your parents house, you did not check the city laws and your own links clearly show you violated city codes.
Amazing that newspaper blown lot of smoke over nothing, but as others know for years, it doesn't take that much to obtain proper permit for stay and be over it.

I cannot understand why a person would spend the money for a truck, modifications to the truck, a TC and then park it on a residential street because it was CONVENIENT and saved THEM money!
When I am invited to visit distant friends or family, l either stay at a campground or if there are no convenient or nice campgrounds I get a hotel room.
Why someone would get an RV so they can break laws/ordinance and inconvenience others is beyond me.

What is to not understand? We camp all the time but sometimes, when visiting family you want to be close. Specially when they are elderly (I am 53 so you can guess my parents aren't young).

In this case we wanted to be close and spend as much time as possible with them for the short time we were there and they had other company. We were not expected either.

On a previous trip we stayed at Lake Selmac and drove back and forth. Just depends on what we are doing.

Finally, we broke no laws as evidenced by the police stating so. We were left alone after the initial visit which they said was wrong.

What part of that is so hard for all of those who don't like this thread to understand?

Not true. Not even true for your homestate of California. I verified with the police in Mill Valley, CA. A vehicle is considered abandoned if it is left on public property for over 30 days. Before the 30 days are up, the vehicle needs to be moved a short distance. I believe that is 0.3 miles. Then the clock starts again.

When the law can be different in different jurisdiction, I never heard about 30 days.
Mill Valley gives no definition
Here is Grants Pass with 72 hr
Los Angeles allows 72 hr
Vermont 48 hr
Those link appeared on google search in 3 seconds, so you can always find one for your location.

The code doesn't exist. That's my point earlier. I read them all.

You are the one who quoted code 5-61-010 (B) and following on previous page.
So what is going on here?

I am saying the code that they claim says you cannot sleep for more than 8hrs or stay more than 48. The code can be found here:

https://www.grantspassoregon.gov/DocumentCenter/View/38/Title-5--Nuisances-and-Offenses-?bidId=

The only reference anywhere that I could find in all pertaining codes was a reference to vehicles designed for less than 48 hours of use.

The 5-61-010 (B) and rest of the codes are clearly there
No offence but you are making no sense.
