youngfulltimers Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 We're going to visit/housesit for family friends in La Mesa, Calif., next week. Their HOA does not allow ANY vehicles parked on the street or driveways, for that matter, let alone RVs. The city laws also prohibit RV street parking longer than 72hrs, even if we decided to thwart HOA rules. Does anyone have ANY advice about where we could park our RV for up to a week so we could enjoy free accommodations all to ourselves?!? We have a great chance to live cheaply (read: free) while enjoying an amazing area. We'd hate to miss out on this opportunity. Any advice would be much appreciated, especially from folks who might know this area specifically. Thanks! YoungFulltimers.com is dedicated to informing non-retired RVers who live on the road.

Yarome Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I would imagine you might be able to find an RV/Boat storage facility. That would probably be cheaper than parking in a CG. I have no idea what rates around that area run, but $50-$100 a month isn't too bad. If they would give you a weekly rate.. even better. Aside from that you might also look for churches in the area. I've made donations in the past for being allowed to park my rig for a few days in their parking lot. One other option might be asking a local hotel/motel.

theeyres Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Many churches will allow it (and a donation is appreciated), especially if you are affiliated with that Denomination or Religion. Most RV parks have a storage area. Or your family/friends may know of other non HOA family/friends where you can leave your RV for a few days. RV Park storage is where I would look, first. You will have to pay...no free ride. 2007 Arctic Fox 32.5 rls for full-timing, now sold. 2014 Sunnybrook Sunset Creek 267rl for the local campgrounds now that we are off the road2007 Silverado 2500 diesel Loving Green Valley, AZ (just South of Tucson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirakawa Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Take it to an RV dealer/service facility and ask for a minor maintenance item to be done. It'll take a week just for them to get around to looking at it. Everybody wanna hear the truth, but everybody tell a lie. Everybody wanna go to Heaven, but nobody want to die.

scouserl41 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 San Diego passed a law prohibiting on street parking of RV's but I rarely saw it enforced. If you are an ELK you could ask them, several Lodges in San Diego actually have camping and might let you park for a nominal contribution. VFW's and American Legions could be good places to try.

SWharton Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Check with a mobile home park in the area. If they have an empty space they might be willing to allow you to park there for a small fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngfulltimers Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 A fellow RVer was kind enough to offer their nearby property for free, so we should be set!
