Plain English

Under Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.018, Nevada law defines a 'recreational vehicle' as a vehicular structure built primarily as temporary living quarters for travel, recreation, or camping, whether self-propelled or towed by another vehicle. This definition establishes which types of vehicles fall under Chapter 118B's regulatory framework for recreational vehicle parks. The classification matters because it determines whether a given structure and its occupants are subject to the rights and obligations set out elsewhere in that chapter.

For Property Managers

Operators of recreational vehicle parks in Nevada should understand that Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.018 sets the threshold definition for what counts as a 'recreational vehicle' under state law. A compliant park operator generally applies this definition when determining whether a guest's vehicle qualifies for the protections and requirements of Chapter 118B. Structures not meeting this definition—such as permanently installed manufactured homes—would typically fall under a different regulatory scheme.

For Tenants

If you live in or use a vehicular structure as temporary quarters in a Nevada RV park, Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.018 is the provision that defines whether your vehicle qualifies as a 'recreational vehicle' under state law. That classification is the gateway to the tenant protections found throughout Chapter 118B. Tenants who believe their vehicle meets this definition and are experiencing disputes with a park operator may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nevada's RV park statutes.
