"The majority of this is mirrored after the code that deals with recreational vehicles. Campers and RVs both require a primary structure on the property in order to have tents.

The majority of this is mirrored after the code that deals with recreational vehicles. Campers and RVs both require a primary structure on the property in order to have tents. Or if it's a vacant property, it needs to be adjacent to A property owner with a primary structure, it limits the length of time a tent can be erected to three consecutive days or seven days within a 30 day period where a recreational vehicle is limited to no more than 30 days. That is one difference between the two. And both still have all those other same requirements of requiring them to provide or have adequate sanitary facilities, both refuge and for sewer and things like that.
