I'm the President of my HOA (specifically to make sure it doesn't overreach when it comes to rules), and even though our rules about RV parking are pretty lenient for the area (we just require that it be parked behind the fence, not in the driveway, and we are all on 1 acre+ so everyone's got the space), there's still so many people that think the rules don't apply to them. Our #1 violation is people who insist on parking their stuff in the driveway... and no not just for a day or two, but permanently. It's pretty darn frustrating because all we're trying to do is keep the neighborhood looking nice to keep our property values up. Most of the surrounding neighborhoods require RVs etc to be inside a garage/building.
Those are the people who grew up getting time out vs some of us who grew up with a somewhat more convincing way of learning. I've been in an HOA and signed papers that acknowledged that we signed papers agreeing to the rules. Some don't think they have to comply after signing. They are special, mom said so over and over.
What's sad is, it's mostly older people! And the neighborhood is only a few years old with all the rules posted on a website in addition to them signing something they received them, but still... we get the "Oh I didn't know" or "that rule is dumb so I don't have to follow it" so many times.
