Jurisdiction and research scope
Conewago Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania only. This packet screens public-right-of-way trailer attachment, continuous parking duration and vehicle maintenance under Chapter 100, with the March 2026 street bans. Private-yard storage, camping, habitation and zoning permissions are outside scope.
Local administrative screen only, not a permit, legal opinion or guarantee of lawful parking. State law, signs, road ownership, other local provisions, actual approvals and private restrictions may add limits. An unknown result never establishes permission.

An unattached trailer has no general grace period
Check an unhitched trailer or camper
Section 100-1B prohibits parking an unhitched or unattached trailer, semitrailer, travel trailer, camper or boat on any street, road or alley in Conewago Township, Adams County. This is not permission for 24 or 72 hours: those duration rules do not erase the separate attachment prohibition. The chapter also forbids leaving detached vehicle accessories, such as pickup caps or snowplows, unattended in those places for any length of time.
The chapter applies across the entire street or alley right-of-way, including areas outside the paved travel lane. Both the owner and the person who last possessed and left the vehicle or object are covered. The law belongs to Adams County’s Conewago Township; matching names in York or Dauphin County are different jurisdictions. Hitching the trailer does not itself approve the location, duration or occupation.
Motor homes have a shorter limit than the general wheeled-vehicle rule
Check continuous street parking
Section 100-1A limits a wheeled vehicle, with or without a motor, to no more than 72 continuous hours at the same public street or alley location. Section 100-1B specifically bars mobile homes, motor homes and buses after 24 consecutive hours. Exactly24 or 72 hours does not exceed that numerical clause, but other restrictions can prohibit parking earlier. No reset distance or general move-around exception was inferred.
Enacted Ordinance 2026-A prohibits parking on both sides of South Jefferson Street from Poplar Street to Third Street and Oxford Avenue from Kindig Lane to Edgegrove Road. Older signs and other Chapter 145 schedules remain relevant. Section 100-2 separately addresses motor vehicles lacking current inspection or registration and junked vehicles. A short duration does not excuse those conditions. The2026 Madison Street gross-registered-weight rule restricts operation and requires separate route review, rather than changing these parking ceilings.
Street maintenance is limited to two narrow categories
Check maintenance in the street
Section 100-3 prohibits maintaining a wheeled vehicle on public streets or alleys except for routine washing with water and nontoxic, nonpetroleum-based cleaners, or emergency maintenance such as jump-starting a vehicle or replacing a flat tire. The ordinance directs that this prohibition be strictly construed. A planned overhaul or ordinary elective repair is not brought within the exception merely because the vehicle could later become disabled.
A washing or emergency-maintenance exception does not waive parking location, attachment, duration or other applicable rules. Section 100-4 separately limits depositing junk on public streets or alleys to regularly scheduled Township trash collection. A repair site is not a general storage area for removed parts. This administrative screen does not determine wastewater compliance, liability, penalties or a disputed definition.
Who to contact for your setup
