RV parking rules in River Edge

River Edge RV parking at a glance

Residential placement and clearances

Section 416-42(B) allows covered recreational vehicles within a compliant enclosed building, in the rear of an interior lot at least four feet from buildings, structures and property lines, or in a corner-lot rear yard under separate setbacks. A pickup with a box cover or slide-in camper must follow the enclosed-building clause. This checker uses only the interior-lot travel-trailer route, not all vehicle categories.

Loading, visitors and permits

Resident loading or unloading may depart from the ordinary placement clauses for no more than 48 hours. A resident’s visitor may use a separate placement exception for up to 72 hours in a five-day period. Outdoor trailers and boats require an issued zoning permit; an application is insufficient. The Zoning Officer has a discretionary temporary route up to 14 days with findings. These exceptions are preserved but require individual review here.

Habitation, required spaces and street parking

Stored or parked RVs cannot be occupied for human habitation or converted into accessory structures. Trailer or boat storage must not consume required off-street spaces. The code also bars RV street parking between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. and regulates visibly damaged equipment; this private-storage route gives no street or utility permission. Consecutive-day presence anywhere on the residential lot is presumed continuous under Section 416-37(B).
