General information

State laws, local ordinances and even neighborhood restrictions can affect whether you are able to park and use your motorhome at your residence.

When addressing parking and other motorhome rights issues, research should be an integral part of the process. Action without research is a surefire way to get shot down by the powers-that-be. Learning at least the basic information will help you to take advantage of the various involvement opportunities.

Research resources include libraries, newspapers and magazines; getting on mailing lists; ordering/reviewing government documents; and of course, using the Internet. While seeking information, you will likely develop contacts, new ideas and creative tactics and strategies.
