Interpretation of covenants is up to a board whose members usually have "little man syndrome". I grew up in south Florida, where such communities are the rule. Our name for the board and their minions were "condo commandos". One such self-appointed "inspector" made the mistake of getting a ladder and trying to inspect my parent's back yard to search for "unapproved structures" namely a deck. Since my mother and my sisters were using said deck to sunbathe sans tops, my father took matters in hand and beat the pervert with a shovel.
I hate to say it......Move.
I don't recommend that, but short of a revolt from you and your neighbors that changes the rules and removes the current board, you have no other recourse but to sell the RV or move. The fines add up, and can count as a superior lien on your property. The board can then foreclose on your property and remove you.
That is why I will never live in such a community.
