Full Breakdown

Section 10.36.020 of the Casper Municipal Code treats recreational vehicles, which Section 10.36.030 defines to include travel trailers, pickup campers, motor homes, camping trailers, and any boat or trailer other than an enclosed commercial trailer under twenty feet, as a distinct category of street parking. Subsection A(26) requires that any RV parked on a public street sit directly in front of the owner's or renter's own lot or property, and makes parking in any other location on a public street unlawful outright. Subsection C adds a time limit: no recreational vehicle may be parked on any city street for more than five days in any thirty-day period unless the owner has complied with the additional provisions of the city's current Parking Manual, adopted by council resolution and covering permits, fees and exceptions.

Subsection F protects sight lines at intersections by making it unlawful to park any RV or vehicle within thirty feet of the back of the sidewalk, or of the right-of-way line where no sidewalk exists, at any corner formed by intersecting streets. These RV-specific rules sit inside the same section that requires every parked vehicle to be currently registered and licensed under Section 10.36.020(E). A violation of any of these RV parking limits is a misdemeanor under Section 10.36.050, each day it continues is a separate offense, and the city may tow or impound the RV once three or more citations tied to it are more than thirty days past due.

Violations & Fines

Parking an RV, boat, or trailer on a Casper street anywhere other than directly in front of the owner's or renter's own lot violates Section 10.36.020(A)(26). Leaving it on a city street more than five days in any thirty-day period without complying with the Parking Manual violates subsection C, and parking within thirty feet of a corner violates subsection F. Each is a misdemeanor under Section 10.36.050, with towing available after three unpaid citations thirty or more days past due.

How many days can I leave my boat trailer parked on the street?
Section 10.36.020(C) caps recreational vehicle street parking, which Section 10.36.030 defines to include boats and trailers, at five days in any thirty-day period unless the owner has complied with the additional provisions in the city's current Parking Manual.
Why can't I park my motor home right at the corner of my block?
Section 10.36.020(F) makes it unlawful to park any RV or vehicle within thirty feet of the back of the sidewalk, or of the right-of-way line where there is no sidewalk, at any corner formed by intersecting streets, to keep sightlines clear for drivers and pedestrians.
What size trailer counts as an RV under this rule?
Section 10.36.030 defines recreational vehicle to include travel trailers, pickup campers, motor homes, camping trailers, and any boat or trailer, but excludes an enclosed commercial trailer under twenty feet, which the code instead treats as an ordinary motor vehicle.
