Temporary dwelling limit
Section 1260.02 permits an RV or travel trailer as a temporary dwelling on a residential-district lot or a nonconforming residential lot for no more than 72 hours at a time and no more than four times in any 365-day period. Both limits apply. The 365-day count is not a calendar-year reset, and an ordinary accessory building cannot be used as a dwelling through this exception.

Street time cap
Section 452.16 prohibits allowing any vehicle to remain parked, standing or abandoned on a street for longer than 72 continuous hours. The section expressly supplements rather than replaces other parking regulations. This street cap does not transfer the private residential-lot dwelling exception to a roadway.

Street storage and repairs
Section 452.09 prohibits street parking principally for displaying a vehicle for sale, lubricating, repairing or storing it. Being below 72 hours does not legalize those activities. The checker leaves ordinary private storage unresolved, applies the street rule only to non-storage parking, and requires separate review of utility and other applicable requirements for temporary dwelling.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No street dwelling, hookups, special zoning or nonresidential approval.
Use the London parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
