City of Easton RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Can I keep an RV in my driveway? | These traffic provisions do not establish permission for private-lot RV storage. Confirm zoning, lawful parking surfaces, yard location and property restrictions with the city. A rule allowing a vehicle on a street for part of the day would not establish driveway or camping permission. |
| Can I park an RV on the street overnight? | Section 560-48 bars tractors, tractor trailers, dump trucks, garbage packer trucks and any other vehicle over 20 feet on any street between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., unless Police grant temporary permission for cause. Passenger automobiles are expressly excluded. Do not assume a motor home is a passenger automobile merely because it carries passengers. |
| Must a trailer stay attached? | Section 560-45 requires every street-parked truck trailer or trailer to remain attached to a means of mechanical traction designed to pull it. The text has no detached-camper loading exception. Section 560-47 separately bars inoperable vehicles and those lacking current registration plates, inspection stickers or required emissions stickers on streets, highways and public property. |

How long can I leave it, and can I repair it?
Section 560-46 prohibits storage in one street position or a city-owned parking lot continuously over 72 hours unless the individual has a valid monthly city parking pass. This is not a 72-hour permission overriding other rules. Section 560-44 prohibits washing, greasing or repair work on streets or sidewalks except emergency repairs.
Can guests sleep inside?
The traffic rules do not establish accommodation or hookup permission. Ask separately about an occupied RV, including on private property.
Who to contact for your setup
Give City of Easton zoning staff the parcel address, vehicle type and dimensions, intended location, duration and any occupancy or hookups. Ask police about the exact street and posted restrictions. Confirm easements, private covenants and later amendments separately.
Use the City of Easton parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
