Looking to buy something small and convenient to use as a car replacement. Figured it would be just as easy to have a small rv like a Leasureway, Roadtrek or similar. Since they are usually built on a 4 wheel platform, rather than a 6 wheel platform, I wonder if they would be ok to park in my driveway in The Villages.

You will have to check your deed restrictions. Village Community Development Districts In my district if it's titled as an RV then the answer is NO you can't park it in your driveway.

No all classes of RVs can only be parked in your driveway for 72 hours!

Unless you live in hamselwood.

Class B RV'S I have recently learned are very expensive. I would say it would depend on how many exterior features your particular Model has. Some of them look like nice Vans and some of them look like Campers. Wouldn't that be a shame if you gave it a shot and got hung up on a little technicality like a Deed Restriction? If it was me I wouldn't try it because you will get pinched at some point.

I've been out looking for a new Class A or Class B. They are presently overpriced and unavailable for the most part. For me, a used RV is out of the question.

Good luck with your decision. Let us know how you do sometime down the line.

Sure buy an RV and leave it in your driveway! It may compliment your house, and your 4 inch thick concrete driveway will show its appreciation by cracking a smile. Neighbors always enjoy peeking out their front window and hope that you took that trip across the country you were talking about. Your wife really prefers camping rather than going on a Viking River Cruise, or spending a day in Barcelona shopping and seeing the sights. Years from now you can visit your RV camper parked in the backlot of some storage place and look forward to changing out the sticky pads with the dead mice on them..always good to drive a mult-ton vehicle when we get older...

RICH1 - How rude! Your post isn't even good enough to be considered sarcasm!

Really? OMG, that's rude!

He was asking a honest question and deserves an honest answer.

I have seen many people on this site refer to a 72 hour parking rule. Can you provide a source for the rule? My deed restriction document prohibits the parking of RV's, but it doesn't say anything about 72 hours.

I thought it was funny and a lot of truth to it, you rock Rich

Actually your reply is why I have yet to make that purchase. We have gotten comfortable with TransAtlantic cruises and visiting whatever stops are on the way. As an accepted car replacement I can easily make the purchase. If I have to park it elsewhere probably no.

Most of the class b rv vans are close to 10 feet in height with the ac cover, vent fan covers and directional TV antennae. Not much chance of mistaking it for anything other than a TV.

I think it's a Villages myth.
