The issue went away a few months later when the guy sold his RV.

I don’t know if there are other instances of this issue or not. Not all CDD deed restrictions are exactly alike but the streets are turned over to the county or city following completion of the village. We sold our RV because we didn’t use it much following retirement. We kept ours under roof in storage when we had one. Deed restrictions help protect our real estate values and a lot of residents moved here because of that. Deed restrictions, however, don’t cover everything. For example, renting your house out on a daily or weekly basis. A lot of residents don’t like a neighborhood situation like that. We can select the house but not our neighbors.
Extended parking in the street is a good way to get a "key job" on that full body paint and decals by a neighbor that has had enough of it being parked there. Only an ignorant selfish individual would park an RV on a residential street. The City Of Wildwood has parking restrictions so anywhere south of 44 that is within Wildwood would be a problem for the owner.
