You would have to be a Breaking Bad fan to understand, I guess.

The characters had a thriving business cooking up meth, in an RV. Its a great show.

Why are you unappy? They are probably visiting friends nearby. If the vehicle is properly registered, they have a right to park wherever there is space; a rare comodity on village streets, so give them a break. There are no convenient RV parks in Chapala or Ajijic and Jocotopec may be too far away for their needs.

You're not biased by any chance are you RVGRINGO?

Why lecture someone when not knowing circumstances? FYI, I lived in an RV for four years,

There is a storage facility next to Wal-Mart. La Florista. Also in Roca Azul there is a storage area. A year ago they charged 600 pesos. I also agree with rvgringo maybe just friends visiting.

I am bias I live full time in a RV and love it!

[RVGRINGO]

My bias, and probably that of anyone who has had a motor home, is that there are times when you must simply park, as you would with any vehicle. We have done that when visiting friends in suburban areas, shopping or visiting museums, etc., and having to park in a nearby residential area. At the end of that day, we were likely to be tired and to simply sleep there. We certainly did not make noise or otherwise disturb the peace.
Can the OP please explain his/her objection? Other than the RV being parked, what is the situation?

There is an RV park in San Antonio. It is down the street just west of Sunrise restaurant on the east side of the street.

When we visited friends for a night or two in our RV, many times we'd park in front of their houses or in their driveways. We preferred sleeping in our own bed and it was less trouble to them.

We sure miss our RVing days. If we had it to do all over again, we'd probably still be full timing and spending a lot of time here or at the beach. La Manzanilla has some really nice beachfront parks and locally there is Roca Azul which has a gorgeous RV park.

Sigh. . .

[RVGRINGO]

With all the changes here in the last ten years, I join Mainecoons in that sigh. I too miss the freedom of the motorhome, but must admit that deisel fuel was hovering just above $1.00 when we sold it to move to Mexico. Now, I cannot drive any more and my wife refuses, so housebound I remain unless taken out to be watered and fed.

As an ex Rver I have to ask a few questions. How long have they been parked there, is it beyond what is reasonable to think the tanks might hold. Please do not tell me they are dumping grey or black water on the street. An electrical cord isn't any indication of tankage. If they are only parking to visit, even if they are plugged in, no big deal.

[Mainecoons]

We just got back from Texas, RV. Diesel fuel was "hovering" around $4 per gallon.

Many of the "streets" in Ajijic, are callejons which are the width for burro traffic only, left over from the old days. And there is a dearth of parking places for the residents of the area who do not have garages, which can be everyone on the block, depending on the street in question, so an RV taking up parking space which could be utilized by the residents could be disconcerting, to say the least. Could depend on how long the situation lasts. Can other traffic can readily pass the RV, including the huge Pepsi trucks which will take out the side of your house trying to pass a wide RV (or SUV) parked? All of these alternatives (and more) have happened on our callejon in the past 6 years.

No! it is not! When I was house sitting in a Fracc. suddenly I found a Tundra parked by the next vacum lot, so I called police, because sometimes in this Country, abandoned vehicles, could contain "gifts", I do not want to be so "descriptive" so, it is good to comment this situation with some police....they have to see. When I called a guard, he preferred to wait until the patrol arrived.

[La Delfina]

In my particuar case, fortunately, the vehicle belonged to a visitor. phew!

I agree with the OP- RVs parked on narrow streets are an annoying, unsightly and in Mexico dangerous especially on narrow Lakeside calles.

In my former neighborhood in Calif- RVs Boats, and Trailers,campers were forbidden to be parked on residential streets for longer than 8 hrs- also they could not be parked in yards of owners-Any Violation and Police would ticket and tow within 48 hours.

3 neighbors had giant RVS, if they came home late at night- it had to go- 1 neighbor tried to petition neighbors to allow him to park his giant RV behind large gates-next to his house - NO GOI it would have opened the door to others to blight the neighborhood and was in violation of CCNR's,

Here in myCoto, we must fit visitors cars in our cocherra's or in front of our house- violation- security will call a grua if necessary to tow them away.
