RV street loading is a narrow exception

Section 360-19A bars motorized and nonmotorized recreational vehicles, including travel trailers, motor homes, truck campers and tent campers, on township streets, alleys and cartways. Temporary loading or unloading can last no more than 48 hours. Ordinary storage is not loading. RVs used in connection with a business may not park within 50 feet of the business they serve.

The heavy-vehicle rule also applies

Section 360-19B separately restricts trucks, tractors, semitrailers, trailers and other vehicles exceeding 17,000 pounds by gross weight, registered gross weight or gross vehicle weight rating, and Weight Class 7 or greater. Its exceptions concern pickups or deliveries and school-bus passenger service, completed promptly with removal as soon as feasible. This checker does not assume recreational loading satisfies that separate exception.

Clearances and posted restrictions remain

Section 360-16 bars public-street parking in front of a garage entrance, within 10 feet of a driveway, and within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, mailbox, posted cistern or dry hydrant. Sections 360-15 and 360-17 prohibit bridge parking and require parking parallel with traffic. Location-specific, school-hour and temporary restrictions still apply. The township recreation site links this Berks County code; the publisher lists legislation through April 13, 2026.

Who to contact for your setup

Private storage, sleeping and utilities are not resolved by this street packet. The prior research identified uncodified June 22, 2026 Ordinance 881 affecting zoning, so no private zoning conclusion is made. Vehicles above 17,000 pounds under any listed weight measure or Weight Class 7 and greater need separate pickup/delivery analysis. Special authorizations, emergency situations and exceptional cases are not evaluated.
