(2) A “camping trailer,” which is a vehicular portable structure mounted on wheels, constructed with collapsible partial side walls of fabric, plastic or other pliable material for folding compactly while being drawn by another vehicle, and, when unfolded at the site or location, providing temporary living quarters, and whose primary design is for recreation, camping or travel use;
(3) A “truck camper,” which is a portable structure, designed to be loaded onto or affixed to the bed or chassis of a truck, constructed to provide temporary living quarters for recreation, camping or travel use;
(4) A “motor home,” which is a structure built on and made an integral part of a self- propelled motor vehicle chassis, other than a passenger car chassis, primarily designed to provide temporary living quarters for recreation, camping and travel use; and
(5) “Boats” and “boat trailers,” which include boats, floats and rafts, plus the normal equipment to transport the same on a highway.
(6) "Trailers" and "work trailers" used for transporting construction or recreational equipment.
(B) Any owner of camping and recreational equipment may park or store such equipment subject to the following conditions:
(1) At no time shall such parked or stored camping and recreational equipment be occupied or used for living, sleeping or housekeeping purposes, nor shall it have fixed connections to electricity, water, gas or sanitary sewer facilities.
(2) If the camping and recreational equipment and trailers are parked or stored outside of a garage, it shall be parked or stored to the rear of the front building line of the lot, and not closer than ten feet from side or rear lot lines and on a paved surface.
