This is the perspective of someone who didn’t have an RV, but I did put a small tiny house on my land and used it as an art studio. RVs can work if done discreetly, without blasting music…but I found most of my neighbors didn’t care.
So I bought a 1 acre property in an unincorporated ” area ” near a desert
town in Southern California. Great deal with 2 Br house. Peaceful? Nope,
my neighbors had roosters that screamed all morning. One guy lived in a trailer and
played LOUD music right next to my property. There were no city ordinences, so I couldn’t complain. The sheriff visited and monitored the situation, but little
was done. My other neighbor was ” fixing ” a run down shack and living in a giant RV near my home, which lowered my property values. He never really worked on the shack, just lived in his RV. I guess he knew he could skirt the law this way. There are also loud barking, mangy type dogs that live in these areas, and once again, no city ordinences to limit this, so they can bark forever. Be prepared for loud dune buggies and motorcycles too. I would recommend going for a larger parcel like 10 acres to help resolve these issues. Additional people add trailers to these type of 1 acre semi-rural neighborhoods, and live there for free, right next to your property. Once again, it pulls down real estate values. They don’t want to pay for an RV Park. Eventually the County will give them a notice, if you are persistent. Bottom line, I sold the house/land and moved on with my life. PS, if there is crime, it takes the sheriff a while to get there, I kept protection just in case.
