Right there with you. The HOA in my area is giving my next door neighbor a hard time over his work truck being parked in his driveway. (he’s an electrician) Its a full sized van with roof racks - doesn’t fit in his garage. It’s a nice truck, I don’t see why anyone complains. If the HOA keeps up, I’m going to tell him to park it in my driveway a couple of nights a week. Then he can tell them it is no longer “permanently” parked in his driveway. They have to allow temporary parking of work trucks or nothing would ever get done. :-)
I hear you. The subdivision I live in originally began an HOA, but never elected any governing members, and did not develop any charter or other governing rules. That was years before I moved into the area. I had my 5th wheel parked in front of my home for a short period after first obtaining it (I inherited it after my father’s death from a motor cycle accident). We were looking around for place to rent storage, which took a few days. A couple of neighbors got together and tried to force me to move it by putting an HOA letter in my mailbox that threatened me with legal action. I parked the 5th wheel directly in front of her home for most of a day, and then took it to the storage place. She nearly had a cow when she came home to find it in front of her house.
