Re: Immobile truck camper
Oh, they tailored it down after the original proposal failed, so I would still be good: https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/09/24/mountain-view-leaders-pass-rv-ban-on-streets-despite-plea-from-residents/ I should also mention, I will be using external bathroom facilities, so wastewater is a non issue. I would just do a standard shell but I have an offer on a free slide in camper from a wealthy relative.162Views0likes0CommentsRe: Immobile truck camper
I ammend that, looks like they did just pass such an ordinance, will be curious to see if they start sweeping the streets in the area I had in mind. There are no residences so perhaps it will be on a by-complaint-only basis and stay under the radar. Still curious about the original question as parking it in a driveway or similar remains an option. Plus, SCIENCE!!!!129Views0likes0CommentsRe: Immobile truck camper
Good point, recently Mountain View tried to pass an ordinance banning it and it was shot down because of recognition that housing costs are absurd. There are several streets in the area that are defacto RV parks. But certainly good advice for anyone in other areas. This is a 6-12 month stint so if they get around to pushing a similar ordinance through I should hopefully be back home by then.130Views0likes0CommentsImmobile truck camper
I've read all of the "can a 1/2 ton carry a camper" conversations, no desire to poke that with a stick. I have a twist on the question: Assume I get the camper into location, either empty and within weight rating, or renting a 3/4-full ton to get it there, then move into it as the increasingly common Silicone Valley streetside apartment, can I load it down at that point? Do the stilts, or whatever the proper lingo is, provide enough support to take the load off the axles? Obviously braking/handling are no longer a concern, but how about suspension, tires, axle? Thanks in advance3KViews0likes18Comments
