20K and 2.5 yr fight secures a win over HOA for RV parking

I lived in a HOA community in VA, the HOA was OK with me parking my MH beside the garage, but some one reported me to the county they the county said I had to park it in the back yard. I told them that they was probably 20 boats and MH in the community parked like I was, they said go get there address and they would look into it, they don't go around looking for violation but if some one report it they have to Act They was going to give me a Variance, but I moved. Still own the house but rent it out. Roy
