Wyomissing Borough RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Where can I store an RV? | Section 804C prohibits permanent parking or standing except unoccupied storage on private property, including qualifying private roads owned by or leased to the RV owner. Storage must comply with zoning; no front-yard storage where an existing driveway or other rear-yard access is adequate to store the RV; no parking or storage over a public sidewalk. The zoning and actual access conditions still need parcel-specific confirmation. |
| Where is street parking restricted? | Section 802 bars RVs, independently of its 14,000-pound or 80-inch tests for other vehicles, on streets in R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-2A, R-3, R-3A, R-4, C-1 and TC. On streets in I1, I2, I3, C2 or C3 abutting residential districts, it applies to the residential-abutting side. Section 803 separately addresses traffic and intersection-sight obstructions, with loading/unloading wording; that is not permission to disregard traffic safety laws. |
| What is the loading exception? | Qualifying loading/unloading of building- or residence-related materials, household goods, refuse, recycling and other goods must end immediately when finished and never exceed 48 hours. Moving to another public-street position within one mile of road distance counts as the same parking period. Business-use nonmotorized vehicles qualify only for temporary work on a building within 50 feet. Do not treat 48 hours as ordinary street parking. |

Can guests sleep inside?
Section 804D prohibits occupation of any RV for living purposes within the Borough. Section 801 broadly includes travel homes/trailers, motor homes, truck/tent campers, boats and trailers, snowmobiles and trailers and similar recreation vehicles.
What about hookups and generators?
Cords, hoses and lines across public sidewalks, streets, alleys or cartways are prohibited except for routine maintenance or loading/unloading. Auxiliary equipment including generators, compressors and air conditioners cannot operate between sunset and sunrise. Neither exception permits living occupancy or general utility installation.
Must the tow vehicle stay attached?
An RV or RV-hauling trailer incapable of moving independently and temporarily street-parked for 48 hours or less must remain physically attached to a capable tow vehicle. This attachment condition does not override §802 or establish a new 48-hour allowance.
Who to contact for your setup
Give Wyomissing Borough zoning staff the parcel address, vehicle type and dimensions, intended location, duration and any occupancy or hookups. Ask police about the exact street and posted restrictions. Confirm easements, private covenants and later amendments separately.
Use the Wyomissing Borough parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
