Trutu Barb? I'd put as much info as I could together and try for a variance. Don't let a pain in the ass make you change your plans for the future or do things you don't want to do ahead of time. Then, since its not being used for habitation and there is something you said about moving it? Gotta' story about that......

Friend of mine, another racer, parked his race car trailer in a similar mannner to you. He lived in one of those hi-falutin' subdivisions with rules and such and the neighbors pitched a fit. But the rules said that trailers and motorhomes could only occupy a spot for a maximum of seven days. On race weekends he was gone and that worked out, but the rest of the time, he'd hook up and drive to our shop (about 6 miles) and I'd give him a receipt for a bulb, safety check, whatever for that date for the trailer. Worked!!! He was within the law and the minor inconvenience was a lot cheaper than storing the trailer.

I know you hate to be a bad neighbor and the thing probably isn't worth losing sleep over, but some people are such jerks that the thrill of shoving it up their bum is just too much to pass up. If you end up HAVING to take your motorhome to a storage lot, I'd be "in for a penny, in for a pound." Forget your son's car, go buy some rusty, dented, trashed out, piece of crap for 50 or a hundred bucks and park it there. Also pick up an 8 foot section of privacy fence and erect it in front of the car...No use having your house look bad is there....but your neighbor can still enjoy it. If you can find a clunker that actually runs, have your son go out and start it from time to time....set the idle speed up and pour tiny amounts of transmission fluid down the carb while it runs. Make sure the wind is blowing toward the neighbors house. If your neighbor as a good view of this wreck, take the wheels off on that side and set it on concrete blocks. If her view is exceptionally good, have an old clapped engine block, a transmission, maybe a rear end too, delivered from your local junkyard. Assuming they are all cracked and generally unsellable, this should cost no more than 100 bucks. I figure for under 300, including the car, parts, junk parts, and fence, you won't have more than 300 in this new "Garden Spot." You need some ripped up tarp to cover part of it with too.

Need more ideas? Happy to oblige!
