Residential storage and placement
Single-family storage is limited to one RV or boat trailer, at most 32 feet long including hitch, tongue and bumpers and 11 feet high including cradle or mount but excluding mast. Keep at least three feet from structures and lot lines and out of the required front yard. Corner-lot storage must be screened from public view. Required off-street parking and its access must remain available.
Loading and vehicle condition
Side yards or driveways have a distinct loading or unloading allowance of no more than 24 hours. Keep required plates and Village stickers current, the vehicle mobile, sanitary and safe, and its entry locked. Collapsible equipment must remain in its towing configuration. Portable-container flammable liquids are prohibited aboard the trailer or boat, and exterior propane controls must be locked or removed during storage. Inoperable or unlicensed RVs on residential property have a separate 48-hour rule unless in an enclosed garage; that is not ordinary storage permission.
Sleeping and service connections
Section 13.11 prohibits living, sleeping and housekeeping in RVs in any zoning district and prohibits sewer, water and electrical connections. Its residential loading provision does not establish a street-parking exception. Confirm streets, enclosed buildings, nonresidential sites and unusual vehicle conditions separately.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the parcel, zoning, vehicle classification and proposed use with Maywood Planning or Code Enforcement. Check HOA, lease, fire-access and other site restrictions separately. Start with the official local guidance.
Use the Maywood parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
