One doesn’t need to look too hard to find these usually out of State- dilapidated RV’s parked illegally throughout Del Norte County. The effects on public and private landowners can be devastating.One day these nomads are parked by Safeway, Rite Aid, side roads and alleys-as they surreptitiously try to evade law enforcement. The next day they are parked in public parking lots or at our beach fronts- all in an attempt to evade having to pay for RV Parks fees. Drug activity and crime sometimes accompanies their presence as evidenced by calls the police and sheriffs’ departments receive from concerned citizens.Many times, they break down - are abandoned- and result in huge towing cost to private landowners and County and City coffers.Kudos to WalMart for enforcing a no- overnight parking rule that prevents these stragglers from abandoning these eyesores; two or three tow charges have changed that dynamic.#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');Please join me in calling the CHP, Police or Sheriffs offices to report illegal RV overnight parking when you see it.There are no excuses for these vagabonds breaking the law.Randy ZopfCrescent City googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
