Im just mildly curious. Did OP actually go to the neighbor and say "hey, Im thinking of buying this place, and I have an RV... Do you have a problem with that"?
I guess I assume something like that transpired. Otherwise, why would she even comment or know he has an RV?
Or, OP, did you see the CC&R and then ask the neighbor?
Either way, I guess it's good you found out before you bought the place. With the CC&R written the way you describe, I wouldn't have even gotten to the point of considering it personally.

Good question. Yes, we were outside chit-chatting with the neighbor when I casually mentioned having an RV. The CC&R subject never came up, she just said she wishes I could store it somewhere else so that she didn't have to see it from her upstairs window. She never mentioned CC&R's or lawsuit or HOA. But I know I received a copy of the CC&R's but that was after I had already seen several other RV's parked in driveways (not even behind the gates!), some with slides out and plugged in, hooked up. So I assumed it was OK. I suppose I could be a victim of selective enforcement.
At least she did tell you what she thinks.
May or may not be an issue, however, since she did mention she "wishes" you could "store elsewhere" I would take that as a pretty good indication that overall she eventually will not be real happy to view your RV and over time can create hostility..
Not to mention, kind of creepy to me that other folks can look into your backyard but then again, I chose a location that I am surrounded by no close neighbors beside me that can peek into my back yard.. They would have to have a 10 story building to view the lowest part of my backyard from the other side of the road.. Have no neighbors on one side all the way to an road intersection 1/4 mile away and old farm land (much is heavily wooded)on the back of my house and the the neighbor on the other side of my house has a nice log home back a heavily wooded lane (I can't see his house and he can't see mine)..
