SO my wife and I bought our first MH finally!
But first lets rewind.

Our "wonderful " neighbors have been great up until recently.
A few months ago, i pulled our new used 34 foot gem up to our home and like with any new toy, began making it ours, wash wax rip out the old, put in the new ect.
Not even 4 hours into my endeavor, this 200+ year old lady from waaay down the road( not visible from our property ) walked up to my driveway to kindly explain to me that there are restrictive covenants in our neighborhood.
...
I recently found a facebook page of our neighborhood where i read a lot of nasty comments from about 4 select neighbors of which I've never met, calling us trailer trash and scum, putting their childrens safety at risk ect.
I was shocked to say the least, not One of these folks actually spoke to us about their concerns, just blasted my character over the internet.

Your anger is showing ;)

I bet the "200 year old lady" would not have said anything if you weren't doing major renovations in your driveway. If you are active duty, why not keep your RV at the base hobby shop and work on it there? That would also get it away from your own two children and keep from exposing them to the hazmat used in older RVs.

Also, are you piling the debris in your yard? I know it has to go somewhere, is that why some of your neighbors say you are endangering their children?

Although it may sound like it, I'm not really criticizing you. Just saying, to have a good neighbor, first you must BE a good neighbor.

PS, hubby and I have over 70 years of combined military service. :)
