I can honestluy say that I lived in a "house trailer" many years ago. It was a 22 foot "M System" house trailer. It did not have any 12 VDC wiring or lights. It had an oil burner heater. It had a gas kitchen range and an electric water heater. It had no fresh water tank, nor any waste water holding tanks. It was definitely NOT any kind of "RV"!
Years later, we lived in a 14X70 3 bedroom Mobile Home. It had 2X6 exterior wall studs, asphalt shingles on the roof, 200 AMP AC service, electric 40 gallon water heater, all the comforts of a site-built house. In fact, it was better built than some site built homes! It, too, was definitely NOT an RV!
The situation described by the OP is exactly why, when we were looking for a home after three years of full-timing, I did not want any HOA. CCRs are irrelevant, because without an HOAS there is nobody to enforce them. We have a few (VERY few) CCRs, but no HOA. I like it that way.
I hope the OP got things settled in his favor.
