- No one may park a trailer, motor home or other vehicle used mainly for accommodation during travel or recreation on a street, outside designated areas, for more than 4 hours.

On your property
- In residential zones no one may park or store a self-propelled camper or travel trailer, except one camper or travel trailer up to 10 m long, one utility trailer up to 4 m long, and one boat or vessel up to 10 m long.
