RV parking rules in Pitman Borough

Pitman Borough RV parking at a glance

Can I park an RV on a residential street?

Section 7-15i prohibits parking or storage of its enumerated vehicles on public streets or rights-of-way in residential zones. The list includes RVs, motor homes, travel trailers, campers, boats and trailers, as well as unregistered motor vehicles and commercial equipment. Do not treat registration or being under a truck-weight threshold as an RV exemption.

What about the overnight parking permit?

Section 7-15a generally prohibits parking on both sides of all streets from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.; the east side of Simpson Avenue has a longer 2 a.m.–10 a.m. restriction. Designated Ballard and West Jersey Avenue segments have a resident permit system under b–c. Police have specific temporary and overflow discretion under e–f, and governmental emergency vehicles have an exception.

These provisions do not expressly say a permit or call-in overrides the separate RV residential-street restriction. Obtain specific Police confirmation rather than treating a general placard as permission. No temporary overnight exception applies on the east side of Simpson Avenue.

Can I put the RV on my lawn or driveway?

Section 3-17.1 prohibits residential owners from parking or permitting any vehicle on their residential lawn. A paved driveway is a different question, and this source does not establish its storage rules, setbacks, guest occupancy or hookups. Former §3-18 and §3-18.1 were repealed in 2023; do not rely on them as current home-storage law.

Are loading and roadside repairs allowed?

Section 3-19.1 prohibits public-place motor-vehicle repairs except an immediate emergency needed to restore operation, completed in less than 60 minutes unless Police grant extra time at the emergency. It does not erase parking restrictions.

Ordinance 15-2026 adds a specific McBurney Field passenger loading zone on Lincoln Avenue with a five-minute limit, attended-driver requirements and no unattended parking. It is not general RV loading, storage or camping permission. Ask about the exact activity and location.

What remains uncertain?

The §7-16 table lists Mt. Vernon and South Summit Avenue segments but leaves hours/sides blank in the displayed table. Do not invent an all-day schedule from those blanks. Confirm posted controls and later ordinances. Ordinary private RV storage, guests, utilities and nonresidential street eligibility need separate determinations.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask municipal zoning staff about your exact parcel, vehicle classification, proposed use and later ordinances. Ask Police about street restrictions. Confirm private covenants and utility approvals separately.
