Get to know your good neighbors and see what might be done.
2. We the community are now doing a complete rewrite of the CC&R and it's out for a vote (nothing to do with RV's). One of the many issues were invalid CC&R restrictions due to changed state or federal law. For you it could also be city or county law. Your and neighbors flagpoles restrictions could be a very strong rally point for others. Reasonable restrictions on a flagpole could be OK but who wants to exclude flying the American Flag?
3. Anyone in your family handicapped? Federal law has all kinds of limitations for a handicapped person. ie The HOA might be able to limit RV parking on your lot but not exclude it. A one day limit for example is unreasonable.
4. Keep a log of EVERYTHING being posted or written about you. It could be very useful. Do not reply to any of this type of material.
Make it work for you and thank you for your service!
