I live in a neighborhood that has no HOA. I have no idea what (if any) enforceable laws or codes are in place. The township does.
When neighbors up the street started to park their parts-cars all over the lawn, the township got a call and things got cleaned up. When the HVAC guy down the street started to load up his side yard with old furnaces and air-conditioners, same thing, the township got a call. When someone tried to store their big 5th-wheel on the narrow curve of the street, the township knew about it. I didn't make all these calls, but the 5th-wheel call was of my doing.
Some people have RVs parked on their side yards and that is their business. I have a motorhome that is over 20 years old. It is my pride and joy. It makes me happy and I enjoy the freedom it gives me. I also am also considerate enough to know that my neighbors don't feel the same way towards it...so I store it. Nobody has challenged me or has complained to the township about me over my last 10 years of ownership.
In reality, my motorhome is probably an eyesore to most. I would love to store it at my house on the driveway. I probably have every right to, because there are others who do. As much as enjoy my 'rights' and will stand to defend them, I try not anger my neighbors in pursuit of them.
You probably have every right to do what you are doing. My advice: Just store the thing at the RV lot and be done with it. Find a place that lets you work on it. I find it very peaceful tinkering on it down at the lot.
