From Santa Monica Close Up:

"On Thursday, March 6, 2023, the Los Angeles Police Department impounded an abandoned Class A RV that had been left unattended for several weeks on Main Street in Venice Beach. The RV, a Chaparral by Hallcraft, had reportedly been left by the owner, who may have been hospitalized. In the owner's absence, several individuals had moved into the RV and were squatting in it. Additionally, the RV was found to have expired registration tags and was ticketed accordingly."
