Colorado state law permits year-round RV living, but local zoning ordinances impose stay limits. In Denver, private property stays are capped at 28 days per year, and street parking is limited to 72 hours. State parks allow 14 days per 28-day period, national parks allow 14 days per month with a 25-mile relocation requirement. Overnight stays at rest stops are technically prohibited, though police typically tolerate driver rest.

The decision stems from a case where a Saxon couple sold a motorhome for €315,000 a few months after purchase. The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.
