TERPMAN7375, I notice this is your first post. Welcome to TOTV!!!

Regarding your thoughts, please refer to this earlier post. I'd have to believe if the poster is indeed the Deed Compliance Manager (and I have absolutely no reason to believe he's not!), then he probably knows of what he speaks:

In other words that if a fire truck can pass in the street and not leave the pavement then it can park in the street at that location. If not then it must be moved. If you live in a villa community then the motor home can only stay there for no longer than 72 hours for loading and unloading and still must allow for emergency vehicles to pass by. If you would like us to send some one out, please get back with me with the address of the motor home and we will start the procedure to have it checked.

Jim Van Ostran

Deed Compliance Manager

PS I apologize for getting back to you this late. I only found this inbox today.

And parked cars RV's, boats etc. parked on the street do impact home values. It turns a percentage of prospective buyers off. When you lower the pool of potential buyers, you lower the value of the home.

I would sooner believe that firing up a noisy Harley-Davidson on a daily basis would affect the home values more than a $400,000 motor home parked in the street a couple of days maybe two or three times a year. It's all in the eye of the beholder!

I hate those loud bikes. They should ticket them for noise pollution. Didn't they get enough attention when they were children?

Sorry for the short rant.

Back on subject now.

speaking as a new boy south of 466, the roads come under county jurisdiction, not TV. A complaint about a safety issue (not enough space for an emergency vehicle) should get a response from the local gendarmes. Other than that, there aren't very many parking restrictions around here on the streets. On the property deeded to you by the developer, however, restrictions are a whole different story.

you could just leave a copy of the restrictions and a list of local storage places taped to the door in the middle of the night....

These are the restrictions listed in our docs:

Trucks, Trailers, Recreational Vehicles, Campers and Boats: You are allowed to keep these types of vehicles in your driveway for a maximum of 72 hours. Vehicles which fit in a garage are exempt.

Motor Vehicles: No inoperable vehicle may be stored or parked on any home site.

Satellite Dishes: The Developer has guidelines on placement for dishes. Please refer to them before placing your dish.

Parking: Vehicles are to be kept in owners’ garages or concrete driveways. When visiting The Villages facilities and commercial areas golf cart parking is available in designated areas.

There doesn't appear to be mention regarding parking an RV on the public roads because that can't be controlled by developer restrictions.

Federal regulation supersedes local guidelines for Satellite Dishes and no you don't have to get permission first.

We have neighbors a couple of doors down from us who have a large RV. They will bring it to their driveway a couple of times a year when they are getting it ready for a long trip. It will stay in the driveway for 2 or 3 days at that time. The other times of the year, it is stored at the big facility on 466. No problem at all for anyone.

I would not like to see it parked in the street in front of their house at all times. It would not look good. Personally, I would think most Villages residents would have the common sense and neighborhood committment to have their RV stored in the facility on 466 or other lots.

parking an rv on a villages street is like farting in church.....its allowed but not a nice thing to do to your neighbors....

Has anybody contacted Sumter Sheriff or Villages FD to get their more official take on big RVs in the streets?

I had called Community Watch and they knew of no restrictions as far as parking an RV in the street. Common sense dictates that nobody really wants to park on the street. Packing and unpacking is something that has to be done. When we prepare to leave or when we come back from an extended trip we park one or at the most two days to get the job done. Why it takes so long is due in part to our wonderful neighbors stopping by to welcome us back or to give us good wishes to have a safe trip. We really try not to impose on any of them and they sense that. I think the original poster needs to meet his neighbor that owns the RV. He/she might find that they are really nice people who really aren't really trying to upset anyone.

I agree... I think I would go over to check out the sweet ride.

I'm a motorhoming wannabe.... What a way to travel!
