Angry RV in driveway

What are the rules for having an RV parked in the driveway. I seem to remember three days. Any problems parking in the parking lots by the pools/mailboxes for a day or two?

Thanks, we are having unexpected company. I don't know the size of the RV. They referred to it as a camper.

I think you are right, 3 days, but if no one complains then leave it there.

I understand you can park it on the street in front of your house. But it must not impede traffic----that might not please your neighbors though......

Yes, I believe it is 3 days to load/clean and 3 days to unload/clean. I disagree with the above statement (if no one complains, leave it there). It's inconsiderate of others to leave it there for longer.

The following link will inform you that they can't accomodate RV's at Rec Centers. Since there is less space at lots by the pools/mailboxes, I'd say that the same would apply. You can confirm this by calling 753-1716.

I totally agree with "if no one complains, etc." That isn't very nice.

If your visitors want to live in their RV while they visit, you could check out local RV parks for them. (Link below).

If they intend to stay with you, there is a storage facility on CR 466, but I don't know if they do short-term storage. Skyguy provided a good link with information about parking at Rec Centers. And doesn't Walmart allow RV parking, (perhaps that's just overnight).

the place on 466 is the highest $$ on grass with a bunch of restrictions.

there's one on rt 44 1/4 mile e of brownwood for less $$ but it's grass

The better one is on 301 just south of 466, nice gravel spots, all these have a min of a month.

Agreed, it's inconsiderate.

Might want to carefully re-read your covenants. The parking restriction is on the homeowner, not visitors to your home.

Regardless of who owns the offending vehicles, the homeowner is the one that is in violation of deed restrictions. More importantly, why would you want to needlessly stress the relationships with your neighbors?

I find it uncanny in a place as large as The Villages, that an RV/motor home area has never been provided for a resident to pay a nominal rental amount for space in a parking area that has been dedicated for that purpose. Such an area should also be available for guests of residents.

I don't know . . . it makes sense to me and would be self-sustaining. I'm sure many residents own some type of of RV or motor home.
