RV & Boat Parking: Mead Valley vs Menifee

Can I park my motorhome on my residential street in unincorporated Riverside County?

Only for limited loading, unloading or cleaning. Ordinance 413 Section 1.18.1 prohibits RVs on county highways in residential districts except for not more than 48 hours, twice a month, directly in front of the owner's or host's residence.

Does the county regulate boats and trailers the same as motorhomes?

Yes. Ordinance 413's definition of 'recreational vehicles' expressly includes boats, watercraft, off-road vehicles and utility trailers, so the same residential-street parking limits apply to them.
