We are considering purchasing a van/camper, and are wondering what the regulations are regarding parking in one's driveway. It looks like a regular van, but its a couple inches too long to fit in our garage. thanks...

The difference is they are not allowed.

The rules that specify no campers - do they define "camper?" Because a VW bus is a van - but it is also a camper. It doesn't have a kitchen or toilet, but you can put a twin mattress in the back, and there are drawers underneath the back seat for storage/clothing. I lived in mine for a summer. But it is absolutely positively considered a passenger vehicle.

The regulation applies to RV's not passenger vans unless they are over 3/4 ton capacity. I had a Ford Transit Van when I moved here it was a large van but it did fit in the garage. It was a 8 passenger van but was easily used as a camper with the rear and center seats removed.

Don't register it as a camper-----problem solved.

Read the rules before you buy and follow them-----problem solved.

The tanks are obvious on these, it doesn't matter how you register it if it was built as an RV that's what it is. I had several of these Class B van motorhomes and even at the toll booths they just look down at the tanks and charge you the RV toll rate, not in Florida but in states like W. Va that have different rates.

Not true!
The title designates the vehicle as a recreational vehicle (plumbing and electrical hookup). Most everyone knows what a B size recreational vehicle is. No one will be fooled thinking it’s a just a van or we would all be doing this instead of storing them in outlying areas. There are several threads on this subject so beware.
Mine cost $180 a month just to store off of Highway 44.
There was even a news story about a villager moving his van around different areas of The Villages to skirt the 72 hour rule. The Villages took care of that also.
