Motorhome classification and street ban
Chapter 185 defines a motor home as a motor vehicle designed or adapted for a mobile dwelling or office. Section 185-4 prohibits ordinary motorhome parking on any borough street or alley at any time. The chapter defines parking to exclude momentary actual loading or unloading of property or passengers; that is not a general loading grace period.
One unoccupied listed vehicle on private property
Section 185-5 permits no more than one unoccupied mobile home, bus, motor home, school bus, full trailer, semi-trailer or truck trailer in a private garage or rear yard. This is a combined one-vehicle exception, not one of each category. The screen is confined to motorhomes and does not silently add ordinary travel trailers to the listed exception.
Conditions and special uses remain separate
The §185-5 vehicle cannot be used for living or sleeping, cause a sight-distance problem for the travelling public, or violate another applicable law including nuisance laws. The street contractor exception is limited to active construction/remodeling at the adjacent property with removal at the end of each day. Trailer camps have separate approval and operation requirements and are excluded here.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Tyrone staff to confirm the municipal boundary, vehicle classification, parcel conditions and any later ordinance or individual approval before relying on this screen.
Use the Tyrone parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
