We park our 36 foot motor home at our house for these purposes only, and have never exceeded the 3 day guideline. No one ever sleeps in it, and we keep it plugged in to charge the batteries, keep the fridge cold, and run the A/C while loading. We don't run the generator except for a brief test.
When we have friends with motor homes visiting, they always stay at local campgrounds, never in front of our house. I agree that "Cousin Eddies Real RV" does not belong in any of our neighborhoods.
Most of our neighbors have accepted our lifestyle and always have questions about where we are off to next. Our street is used as a "cut through" to avoid a traffic light and I suppose some of those folks are upset about having to slow down, but I view that as a side benefit.
I fully agree with the positive attitude expressed in this thread. That's the approach our neighbors have taken and I hope it is supported everywhere in our great community.

Very good explanation as far as what is involved in general maintenance every now and then of a recreational vehicle, whether it be a camper or a boat......they need seasonal maintenance......and closer to the homeowner's driveway is the easiest........... my hubby just moved his boat into our driveway which I'm sure is an eyesore to some, but most don't really care or have never said anything........just like we don't say anything about all of their trucks and vehicles parked in their driveways.
I doubt if Walmart lets one hook up to their power, etc. although in our town we do see people using Walmart to "overnight". Driving back and forth to Walmart to do seasonal maintenance would be a pain.
