You can have a 1/2 ton van in your driveway but not if it was converted to an RV with holding tanks, roof air, etc. showing. It's not discrimination, it's a deed restriction just as you can't have a boat of any size in your driveway. I think it's a good restriction even though for most of my life I have owned RV's and when I moved here I kept them at a storage facility.

I told them that wasn't going to happen and talked to each neighbor explaining that I was not advised, apologized for the mis-communications and gave them a choice of parking it in the driveway or on the cul-de-sac. It was unanimous, all said to park it in the driveway. Problem solved. I did notify the owner of the home and suggested he put that in his rental contract along with any other restrictions so tenants know what they are getting into.
IMHO, excellent way to handle the situation.

Check with the manager of the Walmart. Each store has its own rules regarding overnight parking.

There are 150,000 residents of the Villages. There are about 150,000 opinions on how we should park our RV's.

Just to provide some useful help, rather than general discussion of issues:

If you check with the local RV parks, you may be able to find a place to store it for a week or two. Blue Parrot RV park in Lady Lake accommodated us when we moved here.

Assuming you are just looking for a place to park it while they stay at your house.....ask Hacienda Rec Center to park it in the far end of their parking lot. Most rec centers will allow short term parking as long as you coordinate with them.

I parked my large horse trailer (used to move some stuff) at one for 4 days.
