RV parking rules in Solomon

Solomon RV parking at a glance

Street parking: more than 36 hours

Section 14-208(b) prohibits parking or leaving a motorhome, fifth-wheel, travel trailer, camper or other recreational vehicle unattended on any city street for longer than 36 hours. Exactly 36 hours is not longer than the stated limit, but other rules can prohibit the stop earlier. The separate two-hour residential-street rule in subsection (a) expressly yields to subsection (b); do not replace the RV limit with that truck limit.

Overnight is a separate question

Under 4-701, the mobile-home article uses a broad definition covering a house car, house trailer, trailer home or similar mobile unit usable as permanent, semi-permanent or temporary living quarters. Section 4-704 prohibits that covered class on any street or alley between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., except an emergency. A planned overnight visit is not automatically an emergency. Confirm whether the unit meets this article-specific definition; the 36-hour traffic limit is not overnight permission.

Sidewalks and the curbside strip

Section 4-704 also prohibits the covered mobile-home class on a sidewalk or in the parking area between the sidewalk and roadway at any time. This is not the same as a private driveway behind the actual property boundary. Ask staff to confirm the boundary and classification if unclear.

Chestnut Street: registered weight matters

Section 14-209 prohibits using, operating or parking a vehicle with registered weight of 16,000 pounds or more on Chestnut Street from Fourth Street to Seventh Street. Exactly 16,000 pounds is included. The code uses registered weight, not an owner’s estimate of today’s loaded weight. Being below that threshold does not settle the 36-hour, overnight, sign or obstruction rules.

Home storage and sleeping remain separate

The selected traffic provisions do not establish blanket driveway, yard, sleeping or residence permission. The city zoning regulations and the actual parcel district still matter. Section 4-707 requires mobile-home parks to comply with zoning as well as the mobile-home article. Do not assume that moving off the street creates an approved campsite.

Thirty-day occupancy does not authorize hookups

Section 4-703 says a covered mobile home occupied within city limits for 30 days becomes subject to the cited health provisions and sewer connections may be required by the board of health. That is not a general 30-day occupancy allowance or automatic approval for water, electrical or sewer connections. Confirm lawful site use and utility requirements before an occupied stay.

Source edition and jurisdiction

This guide concerns Solomon, Kansas city limits, not every Solomon mailing address. The linked publisher identifies an edition current through Ordinance 783, adopted June 8, 2026. Codification Ordinance 702 was adopted September 12, 2016. The comparative table ties the RV street provision to Ordinances 407 and 662 and the Chestnut restriction to 471. Later or parcel-specific changes still require city confirmation.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask Solomon city staff to verify city limits, parcel zoning, permits, actual site conditions and later amendments. Do not infer permission from an unknown result.
