The Palo Alto City Council has approved the development of a permit program for RV residents. The program may include a limited number of permits in a designated zone, as well as trash and sewage disposal services. A full ban on RVs in the city is not being considered due to a lack of impound lot space and lawsuits in other cities.

A city council committee presented a report on combating unauthorized RV parking. The number of RVs on city streets doubled from 2023 to 2025, with most belonging to homeless individuals. A pilot parking permit program and a regional meeting on April 17 are being considered.

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 RV parking policy faces $6.5 million implementation cost

Palo Alto's phased policy to address increased RV parking on city streets carries an estimated $6.5 million price tag for signage and implementation over two years. The first phase would ban renting RVs on streets and parking inoperable trailers starting in January, while exploring parking restrictions and designated streets comes later. City staff noted ongoing enforcement and maintenance costs could exceed $800,000 annually.

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.
