RV Parking Fail

I sure wish I lived in a neighborhood that allowed RV parking (at second thought, maybe not), but we just got back from a 2 day trip and somebody parked/dumped a 5ver in my paid RV parking spot! Was able to find a suitable short term spot, but the lot owner isn't sure who's it is, and says he can't move it b/c he doesn't have a vehicle to move a 5ver? Suggestions? Parking in SoCal is awful right now. Thousands of spaces disappeared earlier this year and people are still finding it hard to find parking. This is the best lot for us, so I don't want to get booted from it, but "That's my spot" (Sheldon voice)

Any good tow truck company can, tell the owner to call one. Then the offender can pay towing and storage to get it back.

+1 the owner of the lot has the right to do that.

Yeah, I'd think the owner of the lot would have a tow company come and get it out.

That's what I'd do. And tell the lot owner that you want a credit for every day that the spot you paid for isn't available! You signed a lease for the spot...so technically it's yours.

Call the police and the owner of the lot will get the message!!!
Is that called position if it on your land (leased spot)
A lock smith can make you keys and your free to stay as long as its there

I'm really getting tired of bozos like that that think they can do what they want.
I had a problem similar with a previous rented spot and I raised HE,,L and still did not get it moved.
So I moved out
they lost my money and they can just eat it___

I believe that if you leased the spot you can get it towed. Sometimes it is easier to do it yourself rather than wait for Mr Dithers to do it..

Thanks to everyone. I talked with the lot manager yesterday and he has no record of the 5ver, but that it itself is not too surprising. Since he got me another temp space in the short term, I've decided to give him until Wed to figure something out before I demand it be towed. The temp spot is not nearly as good as the one I pay for, but something is better than nothing, and hopefully whoever's 5ver it is will move it out sometime this weekend. Next time we'll be leaving our other car in our spot while we are gone.

Don't call the Police...it's a civil problem related to parking on private property.

I would drop mine and go back and tow that one to a Walmart and then go get mine go back and park it. I would not tell anyone. But that's just me. I bet that in the process of hooking to it I would get the real story.

Sorry, but that's so bad.... I can't believe you'd do another RVer that way. You'd leave it at Wal Mart?!?! Really?!?! With AIR in the tires?!?!

It is amazing how brash some folks are, isn't it?

Have a hard time believing the owner doesn't know who the fiver belongs too. They accepted money from someone before they gave them the key or code to the facility....right? Then again, if it's a larger lot, then the owner may simply not know. Regardless, the spot is yours and the owner should make good on it.

I'm the opposite. I wouldn't live in a place where I couldn't park my RV in my driveway. As I type, I can look down on mine which is plugged into a 30 amp RV receptacle.

It's ready to go on a moment's notice.

But is a sad situation that a) someone would take your leased space, and b) the storage lot operator would actually allow someone to park in your space.

Don't call the police. If you're are in a private lot there is nothing they can do. The only parking offense the police can enforce on private property is Handicapped Parking. The lot owner needs to address it. If he/she fails to handle it in a way that is to your satisfaction you would then have a civil complaint which again is not a police issue. Best of luck!

Police can run the license plate so the land owner can contact the owner of the RV in the wrong spot.

The owner of the fiver parked illegally is obviously a part of the "It's all about me" generation.... Very frustrating to say the least.... Let us know how it turns out for you.

It may be the cynic in me, but I'm thinking that the lot owners failure to appropriately deal with this (any lot owner KNOWS how to deal with this) tells me that he likely double-rented the space, figuring he could just jockey rigs throughout the season, figuring that there will always be some out on the road. 25 spaces, 10 on the road at any given time, 35 rentals... Likely a few of them are in cash, so there is no real record....f
