I'm the President of my HOA, and our big project this year was overhauling our design standards (which includes rules about trailers) since the developer did a poor job of writing them.
To me, "house trailer" means a mobile home or something like in the post above mine... aka a "tiny house". The rule sounds like it was written to prohibit a second residence on the property. In my own neighborhood, our rule is up to 1 RV (motorhome, 5th wheel, TT, popup, etc) and up to 1 other "trailer" whether that's a boat parked on a trailer, a utility trailer, etc. All must be parked behind the fence, or where a fence would go in the case of people who have not put in fences (ie not in the driveway or in the front of the house).
As for someone saying that they aren't approving RVs, you don't know the circumstances. It could be that someone parked their camper at their house without approval and they were told that they need to get it approved or move it, and they took that to mean they weren't allowed. Or they submitted a plan that involved them parking it in their driveway or without suitable cover and the plan was rejected. This kind of stuff goes on ALL the time in my neighborhood... someone will get a violation letter and start spouting off on places like NextDoor or the neighborhood Facebook page, without telling the whole story and without getting further clarification before whining to everyone about it.
