West Haven RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Private residential storage is outside this public-parking rule. Confirm private placement and zoning before storage. |
| Street / loading | Listed motor homes, unattached trailers/campers and towing combinations may not remain for 24 hours or more without the separate permit route. Loading does not erase the 24-hour threshold; a police special permit may authorize otherwise prohibited parking for three days and nights. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Overnight camping in vehicles on City property, streets, rights-of-way, alleys, cemeteries or parks is prohibited. A parking duration or special parking permit does not authorize utility connections or overnight camping. |
Public RV parking has a shorter clock
Section 71.06(A) applies to motor homes and mini-motor homes of any length, unattached trailers, boats, unmounted campers, and towing vehicles with attached trailers. Remaining on a public road, street, alley or City property for 24 hours or more is unlawful. The separate 48-hour rule for ordinary motor vehicles does not replace this RV limit.
Special permits and other restrictions
For good cause, the law-enforcement agency may issue a temporary special permit for otherwise prohibited vehicle parking for three days and nights. Follow its exact conditions. The code also restricts vehicles with registered gross weight capability of 12,000 pounds or more, except as provided for RVs; confirm classification rather than applying the ordinary weight rule blindly.
No overnight camping on public property
Section 71.05 separately prohibits overnight camping in RVs and other vehicles on City property, streets, rights-of-way, alleys, cemeteries and parks. A parking permit is not a camping permit. Private storage, guest accommodation and utility hookups need their own zoning and site determination.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask West Haven Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the West Haven parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
