Berks County sets no oversized-vehicle parking rule — municipalities do. In the City of Reading, a truck, trailer or mobile home may not be parked or stored in view of the public street for more than 48 hours without a permit.
Parking of oversized vehicles — large trucks, trailers, motorhomes and mobile homes — on residential streets is a municipal matter, not a county one. In the City of Reading, Code § 564-105 bars keeping a truck, trailer or mobile home in plain view from the public right-of-way for more than 48 hours without a permit, and separately limits heavy trucks/tractors to one hour (§ 564-105.A). Reading also prohibits recreational vehicles of any kind in its public parking garages. Berks townships set their own dimensional and time limits, so a motorhome that's fine in one municipality may violate another's ordinance.
Reading's 48-hour truck/trailer/mobile-home violation under § 564-105 is $115 initial; the one-hour heavy-vehicle rule is $125.
