I understand you have 72 hours to load and clean an RV in your drive!

My question is the legality of parking a Class B that is a van in your driveway?

[Dan9871]

You have to look at the covanants for you property. Some have restrictions against trucks 2 1/2 ton and larger from being parked in a driveway with some exceptions for commercial trucks doing work at your property.

Rv is an Rv

One look at the grey and black tank drains will classify them as RVs.

Now if you had an stealth class B with the drains hidden with the AC unit then you have a argument that the vehicle is a van and not an RV, if that is your real question.

A class B is not a van it is a van conversion and fully self contained, it is advertised and sold as a Class B motorhome. it is a motorhome just like a Class A or Class C and it has the same restrictions as any other RV, 72 hours in your driveway only and it cannot be hooked up to facilities.

It doesn't matter if the tanks and drains are hidden or not it is still a Class B motorhome, no argument to be had.

In our CYV community I've had a neighbor about 4 homes down had this Siesta Mercedes RV in this driveway for a few months. I guess nobody has complained, I really don't mind how it looks. I guess it depends on the home, the lot, but even with a curved driveway it doesn't look that bad.

This is a class C and not the subject of this conversation.

You're right, the Class B is smaller and therefore more of an eyesore? The OP even said it was a van.

When one doesn't know whether it is a van or a conversion van or class B.....sorta answers the concern....(IMHO).

The OP stated that it is a Class B motorhome he is simply trying to get someone to tell him it's okay to park it in his driveway because it started life as a van. Most Class C units are also made out of vans the difference being that they use just the cab and chassis of the van vs the Class B using the van in it's entirety. The end result is that almost all deed restrictions limit the allowable parking time to 72 hours for these and all other RV's. There are however those elite individuals that feel the restrictions do not apply to them, they are the same ones that allow their dogs run with out leashes and don't bother picking up their dog's poop.

Our lives have changed since Covid Many of us do want to travel on planes or other public transportation in close proximity to people. Hotels! we do not feel comfortable in rooms that have been sterilized or not.
So maybe it is time to rethink the RV in driveway when the unit is clean and modern look. RV sales are at a all time high many people that did not consider owning one now do.
Smaller RV can be used for daily trips to destinations around FL as well as daily shopping and errand.

If they can afford this $80,000 toy, they can afford to park it properly.

Why would you want to subject the neighbors to the sight of your RV sitting in the driveway all the time? We have a class B and would not think of doing something like that to our neighbors. Let's show a little class and park cars in the garage where they belong, not cluttering up the neighborhood with RV's, Boats, Trailers, Sheds, or anything else that would destroy the beautiful view we all have. We moved here because we were confident the rules would help protect us from these sorts of things.
