Tell us your RV Unfriendly Communities
I came across this website and there was a blog written about RV unfriendly Communities. So it got me thinking have others experience places that are RV unfriendly such as towns, cities, parks etc.? ...

I can understand the reasoning behind these restrictions. You live in a nice neighborhood and want to keep it that way and the property values stable. BUT...some of the restrictions are over the top I can agree. We lived in a deed restricted 'hood, no fences on property lines, no out buildings like those barn style ones, no parking trailers and RV's in your driveway among others. We got our new trailer and brought it home, put it in the driveway for 3 days. The head of the HOA shows up and says "you know you can't park your trailer in the driveway for more than 30 days out of the year." I said OK, its been 3, he said no, its been a week already. Argument ensues and I tell him to get of my property and don't come back.
We go camping for the first time with the new rig for a week, get back and park in the driveway. Yep, here he comes again. He starts up my driveway and I tell him I heard him the first time and to get off my property or I will call the cops and file a trespass complaint. He holds up the copy of the covenants he was carrying and tells me I can't do that because it says he has the right to inspect any violations. I told him "watch me" as I got out my cell phone. He stopped. Finally turned around and left. I did still adhere to the 30 day restriction though. After all, when I bought my house I agreed to the covenants. We really liked our neighborhood and the covenants were not outrageous really.
