Verified from official government sources
In unincorporated Plumas County, parking an RV is allowed but living in one ('camping') on private land is capped at 120 days per calendar year, with health/sanitation hookups required after 17 consecutive days. During snow operations, RVs, boats and trailers must stay out of the county road right-of-way.
Unincorporated Plumas County has no special county ordinance dictating how residents park in their own driveways. Blocking a driveway or sidewalk is prohibited by the California Vehicle Code, and new driveway/road access is reviewed under the County's road-standard provisions.
Unincorporated Plumas County has not adopted a residential commercial-vehicle parking ordinance, so heavy/commercial vehicle parking on county roads is governed by the California Vehicle Code. The county's only seasonal overlay is the snow-removal parking ban.
Unincorporated Plumas County has no broad meter or curb-restriction scheme; street parking on county roads is governed mainly by the California Vehicle Code. The two county rules that matter are the snow-removal parking ban during winter operations and the abandoned-vehicle nuisance code.

Plumas County does not have a county ordinance regulating parking at EV charging stalls or idling at chargers. The County's EV role is streamlined permitting for charger installation (AB 1236/AB 970); stalls are operated by private and utility providers, and misuse is governed by California Vehicle Code Section 22511.
Plumas County has its own abatement ordinance (Title 5, Chapter 8) for abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles on private and public property. It declares such vehicles a public nuisance, limits properties to one non-operational vehicle, and allows removal after a registered-mail notice and 10-day period.

Unincorporated Plumas County has not adopted a special oversized-vehicle parking ordinance. Large vehicles and trailers on county roads are governed by the California Vehicle Code, plus the seasonal snow-removal ban that explicitly covers trailers, boats and RVs.

Under Plumas County Code Section 4-3.502 and California Vehicle Code Section 22510, vehicles may not be left in the county road right-of-way where they obstruct snow removal. Violations bring escalating civil penalties ($25-$75) and tow at owner expense.
