The prohibition applies to RVs of any size
Section 435-20A prohibits RVs, mobile homes, boats and trailers of any size on borough roadways, streets, alleys and borough-owned or controlled parking areas. It also covers other vehicles exceeding specified size or weight thresholds. The RV prohibition is not avoided merely because an RV is under seven feet wide, eighteen feet long or 9,000 pounds. Actual local delivery, pickup and vehicle-related work have separate provisions outside this ordinary visitor checker.

Owner loading is an active seventy-two-hour route
Section 435-20B, amended December 16, 2025 by Ordinance 1058, allows an RV in front of its owner's property while the owner is actively engaged in loading or unloading, for no more than seventy-two hours. It is not a general three-day street storage allowance. The checker requires the actual owner's property, active loading and the total proposed hours; it does not apply this street exception to a borough parking lot.

Nonresident guest: seven days and police notice
The same subsection allows an RV owned by a nonresident visiting a borough resident to park on the street near that resident for at most 168 hours. Notice to the Police Department is to identify the host resident's name, address and phone, the visitor's name, RV make and model, and parking dates, and is made by the resident or representative. Subsection C separately prohibits commercial-vehicle overnight street parking. Visitor parking is not permission to live in the RV or connect utilities.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the proposal with the municipality. Limited administrative screening only, not a permit or complete legal approval. Current §435-20 expressly incorporates Ordinance 1058 of December 16, 2025. The code is updated through June 16, 2026 and its new-law list was empty on review. The full older-size-only interpretation is not used. No borough-lot, commercial, private-storage, sleeping or hookup approval.
Use the Morrisville Borough parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
