Fighting zoning ordinances that hurt RV owners

We just moved to a new township and AGAIN are faced with ridiculous local zoning ordinances that prevent or strictly impede RV owners from parking their rigs in their own paved driveways or on their own property! These rules are wholly unfair. It seems zoning officers, in their quest to restrict derelict vehicles from driveways, have lumped RV owners into the same group and it's a terrible injustice. How do RV groups fight this wholesale discrimination by petty local officials???

Not “petty” to the city council who adopted the ordinance...or the majority of citizens who elected them.

Unfortunately, dockmasterdave has the only real way to fight it...particularly if the ordinance was in place when you bought the house.

What is the municipality? I would like to see the ordinance that says a vehicle registered, insured and inspected by state regulations, cannot be legally kept inn your driveway. Or is this an HOA situation?
