I did in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI. The city used to allow parking in 'permitted' places only hidden from view from the street; ie. behind a house. Then a new ordinance removed that option & all had to be removed. I had permission to park my B in my drive as they considered it a conversion van. When they passed the new ordinance I was given notice to remove my offensive vehicle in 10 days. I fought this for several years, going to every council meeting. getting new members elected, filing suit in court, & finally getting a variance to keep my B. It cost me about $1,000 and the city over $10,000, and 2 years of stress.
I really wanted to pursue the court case as I felt I could win & mI become like OH where the state supreme court ruled in favor of rv owners. But, I could not get anyone else to join me & did not want to pay the entire legal cost on my own.
