- Coolidge bans "untended, unattached trailers specifically, city-wide, but can include unattached work trailers, off-highway vehicles on trailers, boats on trailers and RVs that are parked along the sides of roads continuously and for long periods of time (possibly longer than 48hrs)."[2]
- Flagstaff: forbids "living quarters" use of RVs parked in residential areas zones[3]; forbids overnight parking in commercial zones[4]; forbids commercial owners from posting "camping allowed" signs[5]; forbids parking in city-owned parking lots.[6]; passed an ordinance to let residents write parking violation tickets to each other[7]; Unofficially, Flagstaff is infamous for being anti-RV.[8][9][10],[11]

- Phoenix prohibits camping on city lands, and also has a sit/lie law.[13]
