If you just stick to commercial and industrial areas you will not have any issue regardless of the rig you choose. Keep in mind the LEO's really don't give a shit, they only knock if they get a neighbor calling in to complain about you. That means the nicer your rig is the better you will be, this means no body damage, good paint job, clean exterior etc, are more important then the make/model/size. The size does come into play on certain streets but honestly those streets were signed due to neighborhoods complaints, so it's best not to live on those streets even if your rig fits. In SF the size restriction for such streets is 22' long and I believe 8' high, could be 7' I'm not sure. But really it's best to just find streets that don't have any restrictive signs like that. The best way to do it is pick 2-3 ideal spots and then to show up right as the street cleaning restriction expires to ensure a spot. In some of the more competitive areas you need to park well before the street cleaning time is up to get a spot. The only way to learn when the time is for those blocks is to be there and pay attention to when the street cleaner and meter maid go by. As soon as they leave the block, your good to park. On one of the blocks I park on in SF the weekly street cleaning time is 6am-8am on Fridays. The street cleaner usually comes by about 6:20-6:30 and there are cars and RV's lined up ready to park as soon as they sweep. By 6:35 the block is 80% full again even though the street cleaning restriction is still in place until 8am. This particular street is sandwiched in between a muni bus garage and the UCSF admin office where all the college cops park. No one lives on the block, so RV's can get away with parking there and rarely ever get 72hr notices. Also, don't fear the LEO's or the dreaded knock, if you park in a good spot there is a very good chance they will never bother you. If you do get a knock, all they do is tell you to move within 72hrs, it's not something that you need to go way out of your way to avoid. I would advise to be obvious that you live in the vehicle as it will be less likely to get broken into vs a stealth rig that looks like it's full of tools. I realize Bob and a lot of the people on this forum preach about stealth but they also do not live and park in huge populated CA cities. California cities have a lot of property crime combined with cops who are used to thousands of homeless people being everywhere. This means you need to flip it around from the rest of the country, don't protect yourself from the cops, protect yourself from the petty thieves.
