| Sleeping / utilities | Stored RV must be unoccupied; no utility authorization established. |
Count RVs and boats together
Section 89-36(P) allows at most one boat with trailer, one boat, or one RV outdoors on a residential lot. These are alternatives, not a separate allowance for each category. Ordinary hauling trailers are not regularly stored on residential lots under this provision. The adopted 2024 amendment replaced the former combination wording; use the current one-option rule.
Obtain the permit and confirm the rear yard
The vehicle must be in the rear yard, and outdoor parking or storage requires a permit. It must meet the minimum accessory-building yard requirements for its residential zone. No universal setback distance is supplied here. The checker therefore requires confirmation of the parcel’s zoning and applicable setbacks rather than inventing a single distance. Corner-lot and other yard rules can change the usable area.
Keep the stored RV unoccupied
The residential exception expressly requires the RV not to be occupied on the premises. It is not guest accommodation or ongoing living permission. A police permit is separately required for overnight parking on public property other than a public street; that rule does not itself grant street parking or a loading exception. This checker limits conditional outcomes to permitted unoccupied outdoor residential storage, without utility connections or special approvals.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm your exact address, vehicle class and proposed use with the municipal zoning or police office. Other laws and private restrictions remain applicable.
Use the Eatontown parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
