Parking Rig in Yard
I am getting ready to get a 5th wheel. Considering going ahead and starting full timing soon. My father passed away a few months ago and I am living in his house till we get everything through probate...

I am a bit confused as to what you are trying to accomplish. You say the house where you are living is in probate and will be sold, sometime in the future. So why are you wanting to move out of the house to live in a 5th wheel in the yard? I would take my time, find a 5th wheel I like, park it in the yard to store it until the house sells. Then connect the truck to the trailer and be on the road as a full timer.
I would just stay in the house till the place sells. Get the trailer ready, get the furniture the way you want it, so that to move into it later would be just a matter of putting your personal items in it and be off down the road. Unless you are planning to run a sewer line to the 5th wheel, water and electricity, the house would sure be a better place to spend this winter, IMHO.
I think this is exactly what the op was going to do.
Yes, this is what I had planned on doing. No need for electricity, sewer or anything.
Also, since we have own the house since built. We know where all of the underground pipes are at. And there is nothing on the almost 1/2 acre on the side. Just like an open field.
For those questioning the law, there is nothing wrong with parking it on the lot, as long as it is not occupied. In order to be occupied it must be "permanently" attached to the existing house.
Some asked about the heirs, that is not going to be an issue since an empty house can not be insured. I have lived in the house most of my life and have paid a lot into the house. If anything, they would owe me money if they complained, and I have the receipts:) But my family gets along very well, in fact all are supportive and have asked me to come stay at their house at times when I get the trailer:)
I think most of my questions are answered. As long as the trailer is level and on something solid to avoid sinking our tire rot, I should be ok. Not worried about tearing the grass up as it is red clay. Had a dump truck deliver dirt several years ago, and with a full load he barely left a mark in the grass that a few rains didn't clear up. Red clay is like cement when dry.
