Limited to Village camper/RV street parking, municipal-lot night restrictions and RV habitation under §§140-20, 140-21B, 140-24B–C and 170-58. No general private-storage or street-route permission is provided.
Local administrative screen only, not a permit, complete legal opinion or guarantee that parking is lawful. State law, signs, road ownership, other code provisions, approvals and private restrictions can impose additional limits. Unknown or unsupported facts never establish permission.

Campers and RVs cannot park on Village streets
Section 140-21B prohibits parking a camper or recreational vehicle at any time on streets within the Village. The provision was added by Local Law 5-2023 on October 17, 2023 and remains in the current published article. It is not merely an overnight ban and does not create a short daytime loading window. A legal passenger-car parking space or an unposted curb is therefore not enough for a confirmed camper or RV.
Section 140-20 preserves stops necessary to avoid conflict with traffic and stops complying with a police officer or official traffic-control device. This is a narrow operational exception, not permission to choose the street for storage. The checker sends such cases to individual review. Other parts of the article regulate no-stopping and no-standing areas, loading zones, special-purpose zones, angle parking and time limits. Those rules may independently matter, but satisfying one does not waive the RV street prohibition. The guide does not decide heavy-truck routes or whether a particular vehicle is locally classified as a camper or recreational vehicle.
Municipal lots have a separate overnight rule
Section 140-24B generally prohibits leaving any vehicle in a Village municipal parking lot between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., including the space between the curb and the property line. The text excepts the lot at the southwest corner of Church Street and East Avenue. It also exempts volunteer firefighters while at the Fire Department and police officers while at work for parking in Lot M next to the Police Department. That specific employee/service exemption is not a general exception for all RV users.
Lot C at Church Street and East Avenue has its own alternating-side provision in §140-24C: all-night parking from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. is described for the south side on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the north side on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The clause does not state a Sunday arrangement. The checker leaves every Lot C case for direct confirmation rather than inventing one or approving an RV that may violate space, sign or habitation requirements. Overnight vehicle parking and using that vehicle as living quarters remain different questions.
Living or housekeeping in an RV is generally prohibited
Section 170-58 says a camper, travel trailer described as a recreational vehicle, or boat may not be occupied as a dwelling or used for living or housekeeping purposes. The express exception is an approved PUD-B campground, and that campground remains subject to the restrictions imposed when its zoning approval was granted. A private driveway, the property owner’s consent or availability of electricity does not establish the campground exception.
This checker requires the actual covered vehicle class and activity to be confirmed. A claimed PUD-B approval is sent to manual review of its conditions instead of being accepted as unlimited occupancy permission. The February 2026 uncodified amendment changes building-conversion regulations in §170-87, not this RV rule. The guide does not infer that a vehicle becomes an approved dwelling merely because residential conversions are possible elsewhere in the zoning chapter. Nor does it approve unoccupied home storage: setbacks, surface, accessory-use and other property requirements need a separate review.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the local code or parking administrator to confirm the address, vehicle classification, current signs and any claimed special authorization before relying on an exception.
Use the Newark Village parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
