Thanks for the replies. I am going to first try the storing angle and will build a small cabin of 120 sq ft, avoiding building permit requirements, and claim that is where I stay and not the RV. Although I will be running the RV generator and solar power into the cabin, I hope they won't insist that constitutes RV camping use. There may also be a work around in that if you get a septic and building permit you can then get a temporary occupancy permit for the RV that will last the term of the building permits (one year). If you don't build you can then extend for another year for $29. The problem with this is assuming you can extend off into the future, not to mention the several thousand dollars you'll expend getting the building permits. There is a section in the regulations that defines "camping unit" as a pick up camper, travel trailer or RV designed for and used specifically for recreational purposes. Because I frequently do gate watchman work, it can be argued that the RV is a work vehicle, a necessary requirement for the job, and not used as a recreational vehicle. Don't know if that line of reasoning will fly but it's all I got right now. The property is over an hour from the regulators and there is very little development here, zoned agricultural, so if I can stay under their radar I may be able to get in a few Summers enjoyment before it gets ugly.
