A partial screen is not enough
Section10-5-2(B) requires a stored RV to be totally shielded from other properties and public streets. Residences, lawful fences, garages, lawful storage buildings, landscaping and plantings may provide that shielding, but it must be complete throughout the year. Leaf cover that disappears in winter is not enough if the RV becomes visible.

Shielding does not erase zoning
Storage counts as an accessory building or use and must meet the zoning title, including setbacks and incidental-use requirements. The provision permits unlimited storage or parking within lawful total shielding without a parking permit. This is not unlimited permission to occupy the vehicle, build an unlawful screen or ignore the parcel’s required yards.

Unshielded loading follows a different clock
On the resident’s own parcel off road right-of-way, unshielded loading and unloading is limited without a permit to four nonconsecutive two-day periods per calendar month. Annual-permit parking has separate14-consecutive-day and45-days-in365 limits. The shielded-storage checker does not evaluate or grant those alternatives.
