The long reads
The Tybee Island guide
The two nearest open spaces with RV-tolerant infrastructure are Tybee Island Light Station and Fort Pulaski National Monument, both with on-site sourcing maintained at .gov pages. Diesel and propane run reliable through U-Haul of Savannah on 2010 Skidaway Rd, Savannah, GA 31404, and tank dumping is cleanest at Rivers End Campground (free).
Best window to arrive falls in Mid-March through May and September through October; worst is August when peak summer crowds and hurricane window vigilance. Scenic-drive options leave town via Tybee Beachside Scenic Byway and Coastal Georgia Scenic Byway. The most common arrival mistake is trying to drive any RV on tybee island during the summer beach-traffic weekends — causeway (us-80) backs up 2-3 hr; nearest legal lot is rivers end campground.
Every fact above traces to a primary source listed at the bottom of this guide.
When to come

Parking rules
Tybee Island Code of Ordinances Sec. 66-103(b) (Misuse of city parking lots)
In city public parking lots, absent an official event permit, no person shall cook or prepare food, play excessively loud music, loiter, repetitively cruise, camp or sleep in vehicles, or block passage into and out of the lots or to the beach. The cooking prohibition is the one that catches RV travellers unaware — running the galley or setting up a grill in a Tybee beach lot is a listed violation even in daylight, quite apart from the sleeping ban.

Tybee Island Code of Ordinances Sec. 66-150 (Parking in the city's unimproved rights-of-way)
Regardless of whether parking has been paid for by cash or decal, no vehicle may remain in the same space on an unimproved city right-of-way for more than 48 continuous hours in zoning districts other than C1, C2, NM and NG; after 48 hours it must be moved at least one block away. 'Unimproved city right-of-way' means the sandy and grassy verges beside Tybee's residential streets — the classic informal RV spot. The relocation requirement is specific: moving forward a few feet does not reset the clock, you must go at least one block.
