Palo Alto is facing growing tensions over RV parking. On one hand, city authorities are tightening measures: starting December 8, renting and parking detached trailers on streets will be banned. Since the beginning of the year, police have towed 31 vehicles and issued 447 citations for violating the 72-hour parking limit. Available spots in secured lots are limited, leaving hundreds of RV residents in limbo.

Meanwhile, on April 17, over 50 representatives from cities, businesses, and nonprofits gathered in Palo Alto for a closed-door meeting. They discussed a pilot permit program for parking and finding new locations for safe overnight stays. The meeting was closed to the public and press, raising questions about potential violations of open meeting laws.

VanLife Weekly #17 · April 20–26

Greece has cancelled its own camper van ban — a year and a half on, as if it got cold feet. In Tenerife, 500 motorhomes blocked a motorway demanding the same — pitches and dump stations. In Miami, 200 families are being evicted from a motorhome park by September, while Córdoba is only just applying for permission for a new overnight area. Plus 21 kg of cocaine in a motorhome in Lanzarote, a fake eight-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63 and a Starbucks coffee trailer in Seoul — in this issue.

Palo Alto bans 'vanlords' amid spike in RV dwellers

Palo Alto has approved urgency ordinances to ban unattached trailers and prohibit renting out RVs parked on public streets, a practice termed 'vanlording'. The City Council voted 6-1 following complaints about traffic and sanitation issues in areas with high RV concentration. Enforcement for oversized vehicles begins after signage is installed, while the vanlord ban is effective immediately with fines of $500 per violation. The action coincides with a reported increase in the city's unsheltered population, 76% of whom live in vehicles.
