1373.01 DEFINITIONS.
As used in this chapter:
(a) "Recreational vehicle" means a transportation structure, self-propelled or capable of being towed by a passenger car, station wagon or small pick-up truck, of such size and weight as not to require any special highway movement permits, and primarily designed or constructed to provide temporary, movable, living quarters for recreational, camping or travel use, or to carry such equipment, built not for profit or commercial use. Included as recreational vehicles, but not to the exclusion of any other types not mentioned in this section are: trailers, trailer coaches, camping trailers, motor homes, pick-up (slide in) campers; chassis mounts; converted vans; chopped vans; mini-motor homes; fifth wheel trailers of recreational vehicle construction, design and intent (as opposed to commercial fifth wheel trailers); boats; boat trailers, with and without boats mounted thereon; snowmobiles; snowmobile trailers, with and without snowmobiles mounted thereon, and truck cabs.
(b) "Trailers", "trailer coaches" and "fifth wheel trailers" mean recreational vehicles constructed with integral wheels to make them mobile and intended to be towed by passenger cars, station wagons and/or light pick-up trucks and similar motor vehicles but not including truck tractors of any type.
(c) "Camping trailer" means a type of trailer or trailer coach, the walls of which are so constructed as to be collapsible and made out of either canvas or similar cloth or some form of rigid material such as fiber glass, plastic or metal. The walls are collapsed while the recreational vehicle is being towed and are raised or unfolded when the vehicle becomes temporary living quarters and is not being moved.
(d) "Pick-up (slide in) campers" and "truck cabs" mean recreational structures designed to be mounted temporarily or permanently in the beds of light trucks with the trucks having either single or double rear wheels and with or without an assisting extra tag axle, and wheels mounted either on the camper chassis or truck chassis behind the trucks rear wheels. These campers can be readily demounted from the truck beds. When removed from their respective truck beds, pick-up (slide-in) campers and truck cabs are called unmounted campers, and the truck chassis is no longer considered a recreational vehicle.
(e) "Chassis mounts", "motor homes" and "mini-motor homes" mean recreational structures constructed integrally with a truck and/or motor van chassis and incapable of being separated therefrom. The truck or motor van chassis may have single or double rear wheels.
(f) "Converted" or "chopped vans" means recreational structures which are created by altering or changing an existing auto van to make it into a recreational vehicle meeting the requirements of subsection (a) hereof.
(g) "Boat or snowmobile trailer" means a vehicle on which a boat or snowmobile may be transported and which is towable by a passenger car, station wagon, pick-up truck or a mobile, recreational vehicle as above defined.
(h) "Parking" means the stopping of a recreational vehicle upon public or private property in the Municipality for a period not to exceed seventy-two hours maximum, except as noted in Section 1373.05, for the purpose of minor maintenance, use preparation or after-use cleanup.
(i) "Storing" means openly locating any recreational vehicle upon public or private property in the Municipality which does not exceed seven feet in height, for a period exceeding seventy-two hours in duration. Any recreational vehicle exceeding seven feet in height may be openly stored upon any public or private property within the Municipality provided such storage meets the requirements set forth in Section 1373.06.
