Public parking is not ordinary RV storage
Section 355.100 prohibits parking defined camping and recreational equipment on streets, alleys, highways and other public places. This is more specific than a general abandoned-vehicle deadline.
A temporary stop has a forty-eight-hour ceiling
The emergency or temporary stopping exception applies on alleys, streets and highways for no longer than forty-eight hours. Exactly forty-eight hours meets only this ceiling; it does not override another prohibition.
Detached trailers have a separate restriction
Section 355.110 separately prohibits detached trailers and similar vehicles on dedicated streets, public rights-of-way and public parking lots except during loading, unloading, service or emergency repairs. Do not treat the temporary camping-equipment exception as automatically resolving that overlap.
Confirm the vehicle definition
The code includes motorized homes, pickup coaches, travel trailers and auxiliary camping or boat trailers. Its travel-trailer definition includes a manufacturer identification and an eight-foot body-width limit. An unclassified or wider unit needs individual review, not an assumed exemption.
Keep the exact street and signs in the check
Traffic obstruction, alleys, school zones, narrow streets and posted restrictions remain applicable. Section 355.110 also separately addresses heavy commercial vehicles and unlicensed equipment. The checker therefore does not approve a shorter stop.
Private storage and overnight use are separate questions
These public-street provisions do not establish driveway, yard, hookup or sleeping permission. A private owner’s consent also does not waive zoning or public safety requirements.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Sullivan city staff to confirm the actual address, vehicle classification, zoning and any required permits. Read the current official provisions and later-law index below.
