"Letting" or renting out your RV may be more common in California, but not common at all most anyplace else. How are sanitation and fire hazards an issue when a camper is occupied?

It absolutely lowers values. I am always looking at investment properties and if the neighborhood is full of junk I pass, regardless of the condition of the actual property. Pretty impossible to write laws that allow a pristine custom Prevost coach, yet excludes the rusty schoolie covered with a tarp the guy is going to refurbish as soon as his hunch-backed brother straightens up.

And ask a real estate agent.

You would make a great defense attorney. Just have you client tell the jury "I am not guilty of murder. Yes, I shot the guy, but he bled to death by himself."

I truly laughed out loud at that.

The crux is whether the word "motor" is in the ordinance referring specifically to recreational vehicles. You have now posted the ordinance WITH the word "motor," and WITHOUT the word "motor." If the ordinance does NOT have the word "motor" referring to recreational vehicles, you are out of luck.

"motor vehicle"for all intensive purposes.

Bwahahahaha! I saw a TV show where someone got called out for saying that but I didn't think any "real" people thought that's what it is!

It's "for all INTENTS AND PURPOSES"!

You must not spend much time online. "Intensive purposes" is almost as common as "defiantly not". Or my own personal favorite, "could of".

Personally, I was more willing to buy a property in a neighborhood with livestock, trailers, sheds, and the relative stuff that came with horses. I offered the sellers full price after taking a good look around.

I won't do that in a restrictive HOA -- because I can't do what I like with my own property.

There are 14 other property owners in my area. Nobody cares what color you paint your house. Everybody keeps their yards under control. It's fine if the tomatoes are out to the sidewalk- bonus snacks for anybody walking! Horses and goats on the loose are a problem-- they get closed in the nearest pasture, and the owners are called. Loose dogs get a ride to their homes.

Trailers of any description aren't an issue. At all. One neighbor has a gorgeous horse trailer + human compartment that rivals any 5th wheel I've seen. Another runs a landscaping company from his home.

It's all good.

Does your trailer registration makes a distinction between motor vehicle and trailer designation?

My point was that maintaining an RV at your residence does not automatically decrease the value of the home.
Property values based on keeping an RV on your property is subjective.
The value of owning a corner lot or an in ground swimming pool is also subjective.
There are folks who will love the pool and others who will consider the upkeep and water bills a negative. Corner lot is a nice view or it means more traffic and trash.
A nice RV on site can imply the owners have means, travel, have diverse lifestyles; see it all is directed by the individual's viewpoint.

Actually, it increases property values. When I was house hunting, I would not even look in a neighborhood that wouldn't allow me to park my TT on my property. :B

My point is, your assertion that it reduces property values is subjective. It may decrease YOUR idea of what the property is worth, but someone else's opinion may be different. I agree that junk sitting in the yard decreases property values, but that is a separate issue from your TT parked in your yard. I get lots of admirers wanting to see the Airstream parked behind the privacy fence at the rear of my driveway. I have yet to have a single negative comment, and I live 7 doors down from the city mayor.

One of the reasons that I looked in this neighborhood was that the neighbor 2 doors down from me had his 40ish foot fifth wheel parked in front of his garage. Nice rig. If the neighborhood has nice (spelled "expensive") RV's parked in prepared positions, it indicates to me that the neighborhood is somewhat affluent and will be well cared for.
