    “I don’t live on this property, I just use it for storing my RV.”

    Tall shrubs/trees all around, get a PO box. Don’t show your neighbors around.

    Exactly what is going to compel local police to get a warrant to enter the property and somehow confirm you live in that RV full time?

    These kinds of laws are crafted by elected legislators who are either truly inept, or only interested in performative gestures to boost their image. A law without realistic enforceability is mostly imaginary, and primarily serves just to tack extra charges onto some other sentence a person got for breaking a law local police actually enforce.

    RVs exploded around here during COVID. All the parks I know of are at 100% capacity and I’ve been told to reserve now and pray. (Not that I’m looking, just RV-curious.)

    I have a theory that shitloads of people like me lost parents and grandparents to COVID, got inheritances and tried to buy something to live in. Also, seems like housing prices spiked and nothing was available in my hood. I suspect the same reasoning. I ended up with 2.5 acres of swamp to play around in. :)

    What’s the benefit of living in an RV vs. putting in a mobile/pre-fab home?

    I get it if you had the RV first and the land came second but then why buy the land if the laws restrict living in an RV on it?

    I don’t really care if people want to do it, I just can’t come up with why.

    I do think laws around minimum square footage, requiring connection to utilities etc. are dumb in general.

    Here in Florida you gotta put your shack on wheels. Functionality doesn’t matter, just wheels.
