Plainsboro Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Single-family parking must use an approved garage or driveway, with applicable approved plans. Parking in front, side or rear yards outside an approved driveway is prohibited under §101-11. |
| Street / loading | RV storage on streets and highways exceeding seven days is prohibited. No independent RV loading exemption is supplied by the seven-day storage limit. |
| Sleeping / utilities | No street habitation; habitation exceeding 14 days is unlawful wherever the RV is stored. These duration limits do not authorize utility connections. |
Seven-day street-storage ceiling
Section 101-13.3 prohibits RV storage on public streets and highways for a period exceeding seven days. It separately prohibits habitation at any time while stored there. The seven-day ceiling does not override parking signs, traffic restrictions or safety requirements, and it does not create a seven-day campsite.
Private parking and the habitation limit
Section 101-11 requires single-family parking in an approved garage or driveway, and prohibits yard parking outside an approved driveway. Applicable site or subdivision plans continue to govern residential parking. Section 101-13.3 prohibits RV habitation for a period exceeding 14 days regardless of where the vehicle is stored. A stay below that ceiling still needs confirmation of lawful site, use and other conditions.
Do not infer a reset or utility approval
The cited RV provision does not specify an annual allowance or a reset created by moving the vehicle. Do not treat 14 days as 14 days per month or assume brief moves reset the period. Loading, servicing, hookups and commercial, vacant-lot or park uses need their own requirements. Confirm shorter occupied stays with the Township rather than treating an upper limit as affirmative approval.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Plainsboro 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 Plainsboro Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
