Re: What is considered a house trailer?
DutchmenSport wrote: I lived in a place where, after 10 years, told me I could no long park my travel trailer there. The trailer had to be moved or I'd be fined. I moved the trailer all right. I moved it to the next county and I moved with it. It's now been another 10 years and we live in the camper more than in the house now. I've never regretted moving, in spite of all the aggravation it took to sell the old house. . Im sure the fine would be less than rv storage fees, for a while anyways. But we basically had the same thoughts on moving the camper, right behind the dang Uhaul when we moved everything else somewhere else. Seams the issue has been swept under the rug for now.414Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is considered a house trailer?

To me, that would mean inside covered storage, not under a tarp, which is what they are going to claim your Adco Designer cover basically is. Is this a targeted move against you specifically, or are there other, perhaps less attractive, RVs being stored in the neighborhood? . I talked with the HOA seven years ago about approved covering. At first it was, has to match the house siding, shingled roof, concrete floor and garage door. So I asked for approval for a 20x40, story and a half tall building, in the back of our 1/2 acre yard. They were not happy about the size so I suggested the Adco as a low profile alternative. They were on board for that. Personally I would be happier with some type of structure to store it under.414Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is considered a house trailer?
Thanks for all the input folks! So many great points. The meeting was tonight and it seams Ive been stressing out for two days over little of nothing. A few busy bodies, that feel the need to try and point out anything that they dont like, are the ones trying to be heard. A homeowner asked about the "violations" people were complaining about. One of the busy bodies spouted off about boats and campers were not allowed. I quickly asked her where it says no campers or boats. When she said the covenant, I firmly corrected her that boats and campers were NOT prohibited by the covenant but needed to be under an approved covering. Another busy body made some smart a.. comment about covers actually being used and the HOA president moved on to other issues. The only other mention of campers was from a homeowner that commented that the 2 campers he knew of in the neighborhood were very nice campers and saw no problem as long as they were in the back yard, couple others agreed. It seams that the issue is quieted for now, no defining of House Trailer, no approval but no violations expressed. Ill call that a win for now.414Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is considered a house trailer?

I have found HUD's definition between mobile home and travel trailer, just not much about house trailer.340Views0likes0CommentsWhat is considered a house trailer?
We have been living in our sticks and bricks neighborhood for eleven years. Neighborhood has HOA with covenants. We moved into this neighborhood because the covenants didnt prohibit rv campers. Covenant reads "No house trailer or mobile home shall be placed on any lot either temporarily or permanently". Further in the covenant stats "All boats, trailers and all vehicles other than automobiles shall be kept under suitable cover". We filed a request, with site plan, for a travel trailer cover(Adco designer) and location on our lot where the tt will be stored. Request was approved and its been no problem since. Now there are other homeowners saying that campers are prohibited. Campers and rv's are "house trailers". Anyone dealt with this terminology in a HOA Covenant before? Thanks for any input.5.4KViews0likes54CommentsI40 West bound to Wears Valley TN route?
Towing 33' TT from NC, west bound on I40 to Wears Valley TN. Looking at Google maps and figured taking exit 432 and coming in Hwy 411 would be the route. Co-worker suggested taking exit 407 and come in on Hwy 66. Its 13 miles and only 7 minutes further, but he said Hwy 66 would keep us on better road(straighter, more lanes, better traffic flow). Any opinions from those that have tried them both? By the map, Hwy 441 doesn't look bad to me.1.6KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Underbelly repair material question
Have been trying to post pic with Photobucket and it wouldnt work. Finally got it with Imgur. The area right under the blue foam is the bracket at the rear of fender. Dont really have any way to properly affix a cross piece, cant access sides of joist. Plus I have electrical and plumbing running through hollow section. Blue foam pool noodle is protection against sharp edges of bent metal. Got the metal fairly straight but still bent upwards some.533Views0likes0CommentsUnderbelly repair material question
Im working on repairs after our tire blow out last week. I've got the water leaks and electrical taken care of. I've straightened out brackets the best I can. I'm ready to install new insulation to the damaged area and close it back up. The Darco membrane was shredded from the rear of the inner fender bracket to the rear steps. I have wood floor joist running from front to back at the frame and outer wall. I can fasten new membrane at the wood joist, overlapping the old membrane, and seal with Flex Mend or similar. What is the best way to fasten and seal the new membrane across the hollow chamber between the wood joist? There is not enough old membrane left in those areas to overlap and nothing to fasten solidly. Will Flex mend tape adhere to the metal bracket? Would it be advisable to cover the newly installed membrane with coroplast for added protection from debris and moisture? Thanks for any guidance.2KViews0likes5Comments
