If your home in Zanesville, New Lexington, McConnelsville, and rural Muskingum, Perry, and Morgan counties is not livable after the August storms, you may be able to stay on your own property while it is repaired. We deliver a furnished travel trailer to your driveway or yard, set it up, have it connected, and service it for the whole stay. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly.

Whether a trailer can stay on your lot is decided by your city or town, or by the county or township outside city limits, and by your HOA if you have one. Here is what each one’s own code or official page says, in short. Our parent brand covers the residential RV rules for Zanesville and southeast Ohio in detail.
Ohio law lets a township, or a county with rural zoning, bar travel trailers from its residential districts, so outside a city or village the township or county zoning office has the say. Where a township has no zoning, building and health rules still apply.
That depends on your policy and your adjuster. When a carrier approves the trailer, we can bill the carrier directly, so you are not fronting the cost. Our parent brand explains the claim side on 1st Choice Living’s Zanesville and southeast Ohio page. Once the placement is arranged, the trailer, delivery, and service are ours.
Every size arrives furnished, with real beds, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and heat and air conditioning. If the work on the house runs into the cold months, read winter care and freeze protection before the first hard freeze. More on a trailer on your property while you rebuild.
We work with any temporary housing company. If one is handling your housing, ask them to place you with Temporary RV Living, or with our parent brand, 1st Choice Living, for a trailer on your own lot in Muskingum, Perry, and Morgan counties. They send us the placement, and we deliver, set up, and service the trailer.
For restoration, roofing, tree, utility, and response crews working in Zanesville, New Lexington, McConnelsville, and rural Muskingum, Perry, and Morgan counties. Bring the housing to the work. We deliver travel trailers to the site, or as close as the ground allows, and set up and connect them the same way we do in a driveway. A two-person crew fits one trailer. A full crew takes a cluster, and the Workforce Bunkhouse sleeps six or more per trailer, with a kitchen and a bathroom the crew shares. One point of contact runs the placement, it lands on one invoice billed directly to the company, and we handle the LOA, COI, and compliance paperwork your office or your client requires.
Ask the building or planning office for the site before delivery, with the address and how long the crew expects to stay. More on crew housing.
Water, sewer or septic, and electrical connections are completed by licensed, insured contractors from our preferred vendor network, so you do not hire an electrician or a plumber. We look at how far the trailer will sit from the water, sewer, and power it will use, and confirm the site with you on the call before the trailer rolls.
Electric service in Muskingum, Perry, and Morgan counties comes from the utilities below. Each posts its own outage updates.
Septic: No county health department rule on hooking an RV to a home septic system was found for Muskingum, Perry or Morgan County. Ohio's state septic rules say a system may not be installed, altered or operated without a permit from the local board of health, and a household system may serve only a one-, two- or three-family dwelling, so call the county health department before connecting.

Call the office for the city or town where the trailer will sit, or the county or township office outside city limits. Ask whether a travel trailer may be used there, for how long, and which permits the hookups need.

Zanesville's zoning code lets one RV per home be parked in a residential district, but it may not be lived in or slept in for more than seven nights in a row, and we found no storm or rebuilding exception. Ask the city zoning office before anyone moves in.
Not countywide. The county says zoning covers only Zanesville, Frazeysburg, New Concord, Wayne Township, the eastern half of Falls Township, and the area around the Airport Exit in Perry Township. Where a township is zoned, call its zoning inspector before anyone moves in.
New Lexington's zoning code says travel trailers and campers may not be lived in or slept in for more than five days. A 2024 McConnelsville ordinance allows one RV per home in a residential district but limits living or sleeping in it to seven nights in a row. Call the village office in either place before anyone moves in.
Ohio's septic rules say a system may not be installed, altered, or operated without a permit from the local board of health, so call the county health department before connecting a trailer to a home's septic system.
