Earlier I posted on this subject that I do not care for HOA'S. I understand the people who do. I live in a older neighborhood. Most of my neighbors keep their home and yard in very nice condition, they take pride in it. Now the neighbor to the North was was a different story. If you remember the Adams family on TV you get the idea. Well after 10 years they finally moved. The house sold to a contractor that has totally redone the outside and inside. It went from a eyesore to a nice looking home. If the house had not been redone I would not have a snowballs chance in Hades of getting the value of my home if I was to sell it.
While HOA'S aren't my cup of tea, I fully understand the rationale behind them. Problems arise when they try to micromanage every aspect of your life. Just as in all things there are good and bad HOA'S as well.
Side note; I do keep my large RV in covered storage lot less then a mile from my home. I do have a small 17 foot trailer I keep in a carport beside my garage at home.
