Pennsauken Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | No ordinary driveway-use allowance is established; unoccupied storage interpretation needs township review. Chapter 204 generally places trailers located for use in licensed parks and campgrounds. |
| Street / loading | Repair or another necessary purpose only, no more than 3 hours. Trip preparation is not automatically the code’s necessary-purpose exception; obtain a township determination. |
| Sleeping / utilities | No sleeping during repair/storage at a repair business; ordinary off-park guest use is not authorized. A private hookup does not create a licensed park or authorized occupied site. |
The trailer rule includes motorhomes
Chapter 204 defines covered self-propelled and non-self-propelled vehicles designed for dwelling or sleeping and expressly includes recreational vehicles whenever it uses the word trailer. It is not limited to towable travel trailers. Confirm vehicle classification and the actual Pennsauken boundary.
Street repairs and the three-hour ceiling
Street, highway and thoroughfare parking is allowed only for repair or another necessary purpose, and for no more than three hours. Repairs requiring longer must occur on the premises of a business repairing trailers. No person may use the trailer for dwelling or sleeping during that repair or storage period. The rule does not create a general three-hour sightseeing or camping allowance.
Licensed parks and private property
Apart from the repair provision, the code restricts parking or locating a covered trailer for use to a duly licensed trailer park and campground. Establishing a park requires its own license and geographic compliance; private-owner consent alone does not satisfy it. The chapter does not clearly resolve every case of purely unoccupied household storage, so that question remains for township zoning review. Do not infer hookup or guest-sleeping permission from an unresolved storage question.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Pennsauken Township Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Pennsauken Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
