When I was growing up, it seemed like there were only a few different ways people lived. You had houses, apartments and maybe mobile homes. Of course, some families lived together to save money, but these days people have gotten much more creative when it comes to where they call home.
Van life, RV living and tiny homes have all become increasingly popular. But if you own an RV or camper, there's an important question you might have before you hit the road: Can you simply park your RV on a residential street in Texas?
The answer isn't quite as simple as yes or no.
If you decide that you want to purchase an RV or trailer it is within your legal rights to create that as your residence. But if you plan on doing some traveling with your new residence are you allowed to park on a random street? According to RV Idiots, the answer to that question is also yes. Although there are some things you need to know if you are going to do this.
What Rules Apply When Parking an RV?
While it is legal to park on a residential street, know that you will be bringing attention to yourself and your vehicle. So, to avoid annoying neighbors or having the police called you might want to move your vehicle every day. Also remember you are not allowed to block any fire hydrants, sidewalks, or rights-of-way.
Before You Park Your RV, Check These Rules
According to The Law Advisory, Texas is one of the friendliest states when it comes to living in an RV full time.
After doing all this research, now I want to go travel. I guess first I should buy an RV or camper.
