West Covina, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 22-185 doesn't ban trailers from city streets outright, it bans leaving them there detached. A trailer, semitrailer or trailer coach, language broad enough to reach boat trailers, utility trailers and towable RV coaches, may sit on a public street only while still attached to a vehicle capable of moving it under its own power in a normal manner. The moment the towing vehicle is disconnected and the trailer left standing alone at the curb, the violation occurs regardless of how long it's been there.

The section carries the same two exceptions as the adjacent commercial-vehicle rule: vehicles owned by a public utility or a licensed contractor necessarily in use for utility construction, installation or repair, and commercial vehicles actually being used to pick up or deliver goods or to deliver materials for permitted building repair, alteration, remodeling or construction. Because the section is limited to city streets, it does not reach trailers, boats or RVs parked or stored in a driveway or side yard on private property; those fall under the city's separate zoning and property-maintenance rules rather than this traffic-code section. Sec. 22-185 dates to Code 1960 Section 3189 and was last amended by Ordinance No. 1275, Section 3, on August 25, 1975.
