Neighbors

Thanks all. I believe this isn't about my trailer, but about any trailer. Anyway, hopefully he can be graceful in defeat.

Our TT is 27' 2" and we store it at a nice storage place were we have electric, water, sewer, and air. We do bring it home and park it in our driveway when we are preparing for a trip or doing maintenance on it. Not a problem with our neighbors. We have a corner lot and the couple next to us also have a TT they bring home on occasion and the couple across the street also have a TT and do the same. All the other neighbors in our area are all very nice and we never have a problem. Must be my good looks lol. Skipper

Thanks Skipper!

If you care at all about having a relationship with the neighbor you should be graceful in winning. This one guy may be the only one that spoke up but there may be a lot more that agree with him. Life can get pretty tough in a neighborhood when everybody hates you. Good luck!

If I might suggest, don’t treat this as a win-lose situation. That sets up a pretty toxic environment since no one likes to be “defeat[ed].” You might ask your neighbor if planting a decorative tree along the property line might help soften the view issue. Or, putting in a fence if there isn’t one. Try to avoid rubbing his nose in his “defeat.”

So what do you do when a neighbor makes a big stink over where you park your rv on your property? I am within my legal rights and they know it. They called it an eyesore and that it will depreciate home values. What a crock.

That would make me want to paint the side of the house he sees fluorescent green and orange.....

Personally his looks like the nicest spot in the neighborhood. He should be complaining about his neighbors.

Yes, honey always works better than vinegar.

Ahhhh......one of the biggest benefits of being a full time traveling RVer. If you end up next to a neighbor who bothers you then you simply move.....problem solved.

That's what I told the wife. 5 years.

Driveway widened.

I'm sorry, but you didn't widen your driveway, you poured gravel in your yard. If you would have widened your driveway it would have been apshalt like your original driveway and more importantly like everyone else's driveway in the neighborhood according to what we can see in the picture. Maybe this is why your neighbors are upset with you? Also, you made your parking spot for your camper on the FRONT of the house. Not cool. This should have been put on the SIDE or BACK of the house for asthetic purposes. I'm sure this was the CHEAPEST solution but sometimes you have to spend a little more money to make it look nice to keep the neighbors happy. It's worth it for your property values and theirs in the long run.

 

[hipchem1]

Within code. Others have gravel on SIDE. Property value is a myth. Anything else?

I store my RV so my friends who are also my neighbors don't have to look at it. I am glad that we are not neighbors. I would be working hard with city government to get the codes changed.

I bet you are really popular in your neighborhood, aren't you?

 

[hipchem1]

Actually, yeah.

And I thought aggressive messages weren't allowed.
