Greetings,
I just moved to OR to get my PhD, and plan to live full time in my very nicely self renovated '74 Dodge Hvst (Class C), 24 ft. I have heard that OR is very RV friendly, however in my first few weeks here I have not found that at all to be the case.
After calling every RV living park within 25 miles of Portland, all except two of them will not take RVs older than 10 years, and the other two have no spaces available until Oct., or Nov.
Logically, I checked the local Craigslist for people with large properties who are looking to make extra money by renting out a small space on the lot or yard, which is very popular in CA, from where I just moved. In fact, I rented out my RV on my property to several people throughout the years. But strangely, in OR, these ads seem to be completely missing. There are a couple of ads from Seattle or two hours away from Portland, but that isn't convenient.
1. Most importantly, can anyone give advice on finding a place near Portland to park an RV? How stringent are the "no residents in vehicles" laws?
2. Why is there a shortage of private renters in OR, where there are many RVs and the land plots are larger, but hundreds of opportunities in CA where there aren't many RV full timers and the land plots are much smaller?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
