city parking ordinane

Currently fighting my city to park a future travel trailer on my property. Speaking with alderman and the city planner, they showed me this ordinance language under Parking prohibited category.
Under this ordinance they pointed to this saying I might have a problem due to this. Under "prohibited Motor Vehicles and Equipment" it states "Shall mean commercial trucks and busses, (recreational motor vehicles over twenty-four (24') feet in length, "
My response was it's not a motor vehicle it's a travel trailer. they stated "oh" "i'll have to get back with you . Later stating they "interpreted" that statement to also mean all "campers" motor or otherwise.
They way I read it is "motor vehicles" not travel trailers right?
Any thoughts?
  • Don't have that issue. Living in the country I can park anything, anywhere I want. In fact I have an 18 wheeler parked next to the barn. Just another reason why I don't like city / suburban living.

    I dislike strangers sticking their nose in my business.
  • Look up the city code and see if the term is defined.
