"Human habitation" is the use of a vehicle for dwelling.

A recreational trailer is attached to a recreational vehicle when it is securely connected to the RV by two separate means of attachment, such as a hitch or safety chains, designed so that the failure of one means of attachment would not cause the recreational trailer to separate from the RV.
C. 
It is unlawful for any person to park a recreational vehicle or recreational trailer on the street between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. without a permit. Permits must be displayed in the windshield of a recreational vehicle or the rear of a recreational trailer.
