A friend sent an experienced RV'er to me, asking if he could have a multi-seasonal rental of space on an empty lot adjacent to my FL home.

$$ $$.

He needed only house current for his bus-sized RV and would run a drain hose to my septic tank. Cooling to this whole new concept, I sent him away with the excuse that the County wouldn't allow the steel RV carport he wanted to install at his expense.

Like overnight anchoring and tying up to docks of friends, it's certain to be abused.

1) I've seen an RV brought in to a Winnipesaukee lakefront rental. It's that nearby cottage that shares one septic system with a new McMansion—and the added bedroom converted from the approved garage. For weekends, though, they can probably get away with it.

2) In the South, where land is spacious and cheap, I've seen one clever approach being the "storing" of a discarded yacht with on-board facilities—a landline for a small A/C—and a garden hose for water.
