Where can you park a Tiny House RV? There are many different ways to answer this question, but the simple answer is that you can park your tiny abode wherever it is legal to park a regular RV. Laws differ regarding RVs in every county, so you’ll need to research your preferred parking location.

Here’s a list with hundreds of Tiny House friendly RV Parks and Communities.

If you plan on traveling with your Tiny House RV, you will have the opportunity to park in campgrounds, National Parks, State Parks, overnight parking lots, rest stops, etc. Always read signage to make sure that “RV overnight parking” is allowed before setting up your Tiny House RV. If you are visiting a friend or family member in a county that allows RV parking, you might be parking on private land or in a residential driveway. There are many options out there, just ask any RVer!

You can design your Tiny House RV for “off-grid” or “on-grid” parking. Your future parking location may depend on your choice of utilities. It’s a good idea to plan ahead and determine how flexible you’d like to be with parking and utility maintenance.

Ask yourself: Will I always have access to water and electricity? If you’d prefer to have off-grid electricity, you might consider designing your Tiny House RV with propane appliances to limit your electrical needs. If water will not always be available, you’ll need to estimate how large of a fresh water tank you will need. The same goes for your grey water and black water tanks.

Ask yourself: How hands on do I want to be with my utilities? Being off-grid might mean emptying your compost toilet, rotating your solar panels and filling your fresh water tank every week. If this does not appeal to you, perhaps a parking spot with full connections is more suitable to your needs.
