Bad news??

we can park rvs in our drive way, I don't, my rv would almost reach the side walk. When I bring it home to get it ready for camping, I can see it 200 yards away and would hate for my neighbors to have to look at it all the time.

My last house (pre RV time) had a small yard. Our next door neighbor had a larger yard (actually 2-3X the size of ours), but they parked their 40ft motorhome on the chain link fence between our yards. It was as long as my entire back yard. While I understand why they did it, and I might even choose to do the same thing, it was almost depressing to be sandwiched next to that beast. They were snow birds, so the motorhome only ever moved from January to March. Every time I went outside to play with my kids every day in the summer, that's what I stared it. Even though it was a nice motorhome, to me, it was an eyesore and very un-neighborly.

It is unfortunate to have to store the RV after all the time you've had it at home, but you can make it work. There are many of us that can commiserate with you, at least.

We don't have a city ordinance, but we do have deed restrictions against any type of trailer. We are in a subdivision on a lake and everyone has boats out all year long. A few years ago, people with campers were getting notices to move them. Our neighbor that kept getting notices to move his TT actually took the subdivision to court because technically they shouldn't allow boats either but our sub wasn't targeting anyone with a boat. The court actually ruled that since boats had been allowed for so long, they were grandfathered into the deed and TT had to be removed!
Now to get a TT to stay in our sub, we'd have to get a unanimous vote from every single homeowner. No way that's going to happen.
We'd move if we weren't upside down so much in our mortgage and the kid's school wasn't so good and only 7 houses away.
