The HOA knows darned well that it infuriates local residents if people park large vehicles in the public right of way - so if they hammer me for my driveway parking and I move it to the street, the HOA will get push-back from other people. So we do leave it in our driveway overnight while we're working on it, but not every night. We do rent an off-site garage as well, which is where it lives most of the time. I get to push the envelope, but not too far, in other words.

This is also our problem with the HOA, just purchased a 2008 Pleasure Way sprinter TS which will only just fit into our drive way, also legal to park on the street as they are city streets, but as you mention probably better if we find off site parking. Our rules say we can keep it overnight when preparing and returning from a trip so we seem to have a little wiggle room.
