How many RVs can I store at home?
Section 240-32N permits a maximum of two recreational vehicles on a residential-district lot, with a combined length no greater than 60 feet. Its definition includes motorhomes, travel trailers, truck campers, folding tent campers, boats and boat trailers, adapted vacation vehicles, snowmobiles, minibikes, ATVs and go-carts. Count the covered equipment, not only vehicles with beds.
Where must the vehicles go?
Park or store them only at the side or rear of the principal building, at least ten feet from side and rear lot lines. They may not be stored in the required front yard except as necessary for routine occasional loading and unloading.
The provision expressly does not prevent storing one or more recreational vehicles inside a building. Building, site and use requirements still apply.
Is there a timed driveway exception?
The source says routine occasional loading and unloading; it does not state a number of hours. Do not import Easttown’s 24 hours or treat an extended stay as loading.
Does storage permission include guests or hookups?
No permission for sleeping, residence or utility installation is established by this storage subsection. East Goshen is separate from West Goshen and West Chester Borough. Confirm street parking and any occupied use separately.
Which municipality and approvals apply?
East Goshen Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania only. The code publisher includes legislation through July 15, 2025; sources read November 6, 2026. Later ordinances, parcel approvals and private restrictions require confirmation.
A mailing address does not establish the governing municipality. Ask the municipal zoning office about your parcel, zoning district, legal yard lines and vehicle classification. Ask police separately about public streets. Storage rules do not create a campsite or authorize utility work.
Who to contact for your setup
Contact the municipal zoning office before changing the parking footprint or using an RV as accommodation. Confirm any later amendments, site approvals and HOA or lease restrictions.
Use the East Goshen Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
