McDonald RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage | Owner-lot placement and maintenance conditions; not automated as complete storage approval. |

Public places are not ordinary camper-trailer storage
Section10-302 prohibits outdoor parking or storage of trailers and camper trailers on streets, highways and other public places. The camper-trailer definition includes travel trailers, truck-mount campers, collapsible campers and motor vehicles designed for sleeping or dwelling.
Private storage has separate conditions
The owner’s principal-residence lot, rear-yard placement where possible, building-envelope limits, three-foot property-line separation, current licensing and maintenance requirements appear in the private-storage provisions. These are not permission for a public street or a general approval of a private parcel.
Driveway and special-use exceptions are narrow
Section10-303 allows driveway parking from sunset to the following sunrise when the equipment is being used for recreation. This is not an overnight street exception or permission to sleep inside. Construction and temporary food-service trailers have separate approval routes.
Occupancy and hookups are not approved
Section10-302 prohibits dwelling and occupancy in parked recreational equipment and utility connections. The checker addresses only ordinary public-place parking, not private storage, driveway timing, construction or vending permits. Published code currency is January3,2022; the review does not certify that no later law exists.
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. Only ordinary public-place parking is automated. Exact Borough identity, legal vehicle class and absence of special approval required. Private placement and driveway exceptions need separate review. Published code through January3,2022 is not exhaustive later-law certification.
Use the McDonald parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
