ISO guidance re permanent RV setup [View all]

I don’t even know who to ask these questions - maybe a general contractor?

Assuming all zoning laws are accommodated, how viable is it to connect an RV to a single family residence as far as utilities, specifically septic (lot has individual septic tank used by household) and a community well setup?

My county recently loosened restrictions on “accessory dwelling units” and I’m trying to find an affordable option for a separate self-contained living space in my backyard for my ailing elderly mother.

Stick built homes, tiny houses and other manufactured home options aren’t affordable - even before the connection of utilities issue.

I started a deeper dive and discovered fifth wheel RVs which come in sizes that would fit in my backyard and used ones are more affordable and quite nice!

But I’m stuck on how realistic connecting utilities is given the septic and community well. And don’t know who to ask. That part may be cost prohibitive.

Any personal experience or insight?

😊
