Some of the older homes do not have the electrical supply meeting the 18' high NEC current codes. In Portland OR, there is a push to increase the height of these homes electrical services installed in the 30's and 40's with the power lines as low as 10' above the ground where they meet the home. This is low enough for tall people to touch them!
I would not be considering moving the RV to a place where the lines are less than 15' above ground level. It is his now, and his problem. I know you want to me 'Mr Nice Guy' but it is your tank of gas to go over there, move it again, and possibly damage the RV if you get to close to the power lines. . . .
Good luck with your situation. I guess the new RV owner can hire a towing company to move it around his property?
