I would suggest SS take up a collection (maybe through PayPal?) to help out. I pledge $100.00 here and now to help out. Just let me know where to send it.
Best regards,
Bob

Frank, I think the cost to appeal is a big crock. Thanks for fighting it. Some of these towns are insane about the cosmetics stuff. When I lived in North Jersey The town ordinance stated, no trucks parked outside. They had to be garaged. I applied for a permit and wanted a 3 stall garage for the business trucks and my car. They said no. I looked for commercial property and just couldnt afford it. A man up the street ran a business in construction just like mine, he had a barn which he converted to a 3 stall plus a dumpster parked next to it with a loading ramp. He moved there after me and was assistant building inspector. That stunk. I fought it and no one bothered me after that .I parked wherever I pleased. I moived away to rural Pa. 10 years later. Fight it tooth and nail Frank. Its not fair.Please keep us updated. Thanks.

OMG guys should see the circus that has been at my house since 430pm. FOX43 the local station called my wife and said they wanted an interview today at 715pm. They have been here since 430pm and are still here. They are going live with the story at 10pm, I never thought I would get a response like this. I have met so many people in the neighborhood I have never met before saying they support me and this is a crock of shit.
I had to wear my ECC shirt and plugged the website. Hopefully that will be on the air tonight, positive support for the hobby is great.
I also got interviewed for about an hour by the local newspaper.
The funniest thing to happen is a husband of a local complainer confonted me tonight, wondering why for 2 days in a row a news crew came to his house wanting an interview. How the hell would I know......
i told the wife I should have sold tickets to this circus......and she needed to break out the popcorn machine....
lets see some popcorn

Sounds like a slam dunk in your favor. I think I would now demand to me my accuser and let the support folks use the old tar and feathers routine on her, followed ny a quick trip out of town...on a rail.
Then sue the HOA/Township to reinbursement for attorney fees, punitive damages,loss of sleep and sex drive. Dollar figure to the tune of 1 million. Then settle out of court for $ 52,463.09. Then buy some more..non- recreational vehicles.

Good luck Frank, and know that we are supporting you.
This is a great opportunity for us (as a site and a hobby) to show what kind of professionals we are. I have a feeling a few eyes will be on us, and that is a positive thing.
I can't help but feel that some people think we are "that weird guy with the army truck". This is a chance to show others that we are part of a wonderful hobby that is aimed at preserving history, educating others, and allowing the next generation the opportunity to come in physical contact with a piece of that history.

Man what an f'ed up neighbor.....Good thing is that when this is all over, they will have to leave due to all the negative publicity. I'd be sure theor name was well-known all over.
I had a similar neighbor when I lived in a townhouse complex years ago. She was a renter and neighborhood busy body on welfare to boot and with about 3 or 4 kids running around at all hours. She decided that because I rode a motorcycle and parked it in front of my car covered, that I was in violation of the HOA and had an inoperative vehicle. The HOA flunkies came out without even lifting the cover to see the current plates, and proceeded to use a large safety pin to attach their notice to my very expensive new cover.
Furious, I delivered the new cover, with note attached to the HOA president's desk personally, along with the current registration, receipt for the cover and vehicle in question parked right out front of the office. I then explained that the next door neighbor who had complained also seemed to have an inoperative vehicle in her parking space (I removed her license plates and trashed them the previous evening in an after-dark mission) and that they should attend to that immediately after writing me a check for my new cover they ruined, or I'd be calling the law.
In less than an hour, the check was written and an HOA rep was looking at the vehicle in violation next door to me.
I never had anymore problems from that neighbor again.

Good luck with this....I'm reminded though of an old saying....You can't fight city hall. Well you can, but they will make life heck for you if you win. It will be little BS things that they would normally over look...like your grass is 1/8 to tall or your gutters need painting or some other nit picking thing. This will keep up till you get tired and sell the house and move....
Don't miss understand I'm behind you 100% but I've been there before and there is 1 of you and 30 of them and they just keep coming at you till you give in. I wish you luck.

It seems to me that if there was a complaint made, the township should have a record of it. Since it is public business on the public tax dollar, the complaint (including the identity of the complainer) should be public information. I would demand to see it. If they operate on anonymous calls, then I would mention that whenever I could. The other thing I would be doing is taking every opportunity to embarass the compliance officer and township by pointedly pointing out that the vehicle is not an RV. Ask why things seem to be at the whim of the compliance officer. I don't know about PA, but Illinois has RV plates, which curiously enough, define you as an RV, not a truck of car or motorcycle, etc. Gee . . . a sports car could be classified as a RV.
Just viewed the on air live broadcast a few minutes ago; I looked for a link on the station's website but it's not posted yet. I'm sure that HOA is wishing they would have been patriotic and told that whiner to go pound sand. If the courts determine it's a recreational vehicle I'll be the first at the PA DOT demanding license for an RV at
RV rates for my trucks.
