Trempealeau RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Both side and rear yards use the five-foot margin | Section 520-74B(2) names side and rear yards with at least five feet to the lot line. The ordinary route does not substitute front lawn for those locations. Enclosed conforming storage is a separate B(1) route, so outdoor measurements are not imposed on an enclosed unit. |
| A driveway is a conditional fallback | Section 520-74B(3) requires hard surface or well-drained gravel, unavailable side/rear space or reasonable access, no possible inside parking, and perpendicular placement to the front curb. Corner lots are always deemed to have reasonable rear-yard access; a fence does not necessarily defeat access. Its clauses are not a general permission to choose a preferred front driveway. |
| The body must clear curbs and public areas | Section 520-74B(4) measures fifteen feet from any curb face to the RV body. B(5) independently prohibits any part extending over the sidewalk or public right-of-way. Passing the side/rear lot-line margin is not a substitute for those boundaries. |
| Storage ownership and contents are constrained | B(8) requires the unit to be owned by the resident whose property stores it. B(6)(c) limits stored goods, materials and equipment to items part of the unit or essential for its immediate use. A guest-owned unit or unrelated storage container cannot automatically use the ordinary resident storage route. |
Confirm the village, district and selected private-storage scope
This guide concerns Trempealeau Village, Wisconsin. Section 520-74 covers private RV storage in residential and commercial districts. The selected checker excludes floodplain overlays, mobile-home communities and tourist-rooming-house guest accommodation, which require separate review. Its definition lists motorhomes, camping trailers, coaches and converted vans; the ten-to-thirty-six-foot length and eight-foot width limits apply specifically to travel trailers.
Both side and rear yards use the five-foot margin
Section 520-74B(2) names side and rear yards with at least five feet to the lot line. The ordinary route does not substitute front lawn for those locations. Enclosed conforming storage is a separate B(1) route, so outdoor measurements are not imposed on an enclosed unit.
A driveway is a conditional fallback
Section 520-74B(3) requires hard surface or well-drained gravel, unavailable side/rear space or reasonable access, no possible inside parking, and perpendicular placement to the front curb. Corner lots are always deemed to have reasonable rear-yard access; a fence does not necessarily defeat access. Its clauses are not a general permission to choose a preferred front driveway.
The body must clear curbs and public areas
Section 520-74B(4) measures fifteen feet from any curb face to the RV body. B(5) independently prohibits any part extending over the sidewalk or public right-of-way. Passing the side/rear lot-line margin is not a substitute for those boundaries.
Storage ownership and contents are constrained
B(8) requires the unit to be owned by the resident whose property stores it. B(6)(c) limits stored goods, materials and equipment to items part of the unit or essential for its immediate use. A guest-owned unit or unrelated storage container cannot automatically use the ordinary resident storage route.
Sleeping has an annual limit and cooking is excluded
B(6)(a) allows overnight sleeping up to fourteen days in a calendar year as an exception to dwelling use. Cooking is not permitted under this provision. The selected checker flags an exceeded sleeping limit but does not grant complete accommodation approval, especially in separately regulated sites.
Permanent connections differ from active preparation
B(6)(b) prohibits permanent sewer, water and electricity connections but separately allows temporary electricity for charging and other purposes. B(7) permits anywhere-on-premises active loading or unloading with necessary electricity or propane. That active route is excluded before ordinary yard/driveway predicates are applied; the shared utility checkbox alone does not prove permanence.
Later law changes floodplain and Village-property camping rules
The two currently listed enacted originals were available: budget 5-2025 and omnibus 1-2026 adopted July 16, 2026. The latter replaces floodplain Chapter 497, changes several administrative/traffic/zoning sections and creates Chapter 160 camping on Village-owned property. That new prohibition includes parks, parking facilities and road rights-of-way, with express Code or emergency/special authorization exceptions. The private-storage checker does not automate those public or floodplain routes. The omnibus does not rewrite selected 520-74; its existence is not dismissed as unrelated.
