04), the ban reaches on-street and right-of-way parking in the unincorporated county; it does not reach a driveway or yard on private property, which sits outside the roadway/right-of-way scope this chapter regulates. 03's RECREATIONAL VEHICLE or TRAILER definitions, both of which describe freight, camping, and living-quarters units, so this section does not clearly extend to a boat trailer parked at the curb. 09 ban is for delivery or service trucks actively working, which does not apply to a parked RV or camper.

A $30 fine applies for each violation of § 70.09 under § 70.99(D), reduced to $25 if paid within 72 hours of citation per § 70.99(F). Each day the RV or trailer remains parked in violation is treated as a separate offense under § 70.99(H).
